Origin

Fizzes date to the late 1800s New Orleans bar scene. The Ramos Gin Fizz (with egg white and cream) is the famous, more elaborate cousin of this simpler version.

Flavour Profile

Good as a lighter, frothier alternative to a Tom Collins. Not for someone who wants a long, sippable drink — meant to be finished quickly.

Glass & Garnish

Small fizz glass, no ice.

Notes

Serve immediately. Add egg white, dry-shaken first, for a Ramos-style version (see Whiskey Sour page for raw-egg safety note). Pairs well with light salty snacks.
