Ramos gin fizz
Ramos Gin Fizz is a classic old-school hand-shaken cocktail, that takes a little effort to find the ingredients, but the effort is well worth it. Or you can cheat and use a blender.
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Yield: 1 cocktail 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ounces gin
- 1 pasteurized egg white,
- 3 drops orange flower water
- 1/2 ounce cream
- 1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
- 1/2 ounce simple syrup
- Ice cubes
- Splash of soda water
- 1 strawberry or a lime wheel
- Grating of fresh nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
- If you are shaking by hand, put gin, egg white, orange flower water, cream, lemon juice, lime juice and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker. Cover the shaker and work it for about a minute. Add 4-5 ice cubes and continue shaking until you can’t stand it any more. Use a buddy system and pass the shaker back and forth to a friend to get a really great shake. Strain drink into a chilled cocktail glass. Pour a little soda water into the shaker to dislodge any remaining foam and pour into the top of the fizz. Use a spoon to get all of the foam.
- If you are using a blender, and you probably are, put gin, egg white, orange flower water, cream, lemon juice, lime juice and simple syrup in a blender and whirl on high for 30 seconds. Add about 4 cubes of ice and continue on high for at least a minute, or until you get a good foam going. Pour into a chilled cocktail glass. Pour a splash of soda water back into the blender to dislodge any remaining foam and pour into the top of the fizz. Use a spoon to get all of the foam.
- Slice a strawberry or lime wheel part way to garnish the rim of the glass. Note: Some recipes call for garnishing with nutmeg, but I prefer a fresh piece of fruit.
