Gin Fizz
The first reference to this classic mash up of citrus, sugar and soda was in the 1876 edition of the Bar-tenders guide by Jerry Thomas.
This close cousin to the Tom Colins can also be made with an egg white to deliver a creamy texture and a foamy head.
We love to make this with 1000 Piers Blueberry Gin which provides an elegant twist to this classic.
Ingredients
2 OZ 1000 PIERS BLUEBERRY GIN
1/2 OZ FRESH SQUEEZED LEMON JUICE
1 OZ SIMPLE SYRUP
EGG WHITE (OPTIONAL)
