There’s nothing like a good, classic gin fizz cocktail! A classic cocktail to sip on that has a sweet yet refreshing taste to it! Similar to a whiskey sour, I personally love a gin fizz during the warmer seasons like spring and summer. It is a great cocktail to sip on with a group of friends around the pool or at a nice evening dinner on a patio. This is my delicious gin fizz recipe!
A gin fizz is a unique cocktail that may not be for everyone, but you should definitely try it at least once before deciding against it. Is is a classic gin cocktail that has a fun flavor to it! The lemon juice adds a refreshing and crisp flavor while the simple syrup adds a sweetness to the drink.
The egg white is an ingredient that most people see and immediately differ to another cocktail. It adds a heaviness to the drink but is one of the main ingredients for the “fizz” portion of the name. The combination of the egg white and soda water is what creates the fizz that sits on top of the cocktail! Overall, it is a delicious and crisp cocktail.
