| Everyone Should Know How to Make a Gin Fizz Posted: 05 Jun 2021 04:00 AM PDT  The gin fizz is one of the better-known variations of a broader cocktail category, the fizz. The term largely indicates a sour drink, or one that incorporates lemon or lime juice for citric acid, and is then topped with carbonated water. Many fizzes also incorporate egg whites. While not a requirement, the enduring popularity of the Ramos Gin Fizz, a drink famous for its use of cream, eggs and a 12-minute shake time, as well as eggs' use in numerous pre-Prohibition recipes have led many to equate them as a signature ingredient of fizzes. Though it can be prepared a number of ways—some argue a conventional gin fizz uses no egg should be served up, without ice—we've opted for a version that combines the best of modern and traditional technique. You can omit the egg white to save on ingredients and mess, or to create a vegan cocktail, but its inclusion provides needed body and texture to the drink that helps differentiate it from similar cocktails like a Tom Collins. We also opt to serve our gin fizz over ice rather than up, as the carbonated drink begs to be enjoyed as warm-weather refreshment. Serving without ice invites your cocktail to quickly transition to the temperature and texture of flat beer if you don't sip fast enough and offers no real benefit to the drink. |
