Ramos Gin Fizz

The Ramos Gin Fizz is one of those drinks that you don’t order just anywhere and it’s rarely worth the effort to make unless you are really trying to impress someone.

This any many more cocktail recipes can be found on my website LibationLab.com

Step 1 Gather Ingredients

This is one of the most complex of classic cocktails.  It requires several ingredients and several steps, so make sure you are ready for it.

• 2 ounces Hayman’s Old Tom gin
• 1 egg white
• 1/2 ounce lemon juice
• 1/2 ounce lime juice
• 3 dashes orange flower water
• soda water

The traditional recipe calls for orange blossom water, but it is absurdly hard to find outside of the middle east, so a half ounce of Clement’s Creole Shrubb, or another orange liqueur, such as triple sec, Cointreau or Grand Marnier, can be substituted.  Alternately, rosewater can be used.

If you don’t have an Old Tom gin, use a regular London Dry gin like Beefeater and add a barspoon of sugar.
