Review:
Everyone has heard of this clean, refreshing cocktail, but few have experienced the real thing. The Gin Fizz is differentiated from a Gin Collins (properly called a John Collins) by the small (10oz max) highball glass it's served in. (Collins' are served in larger 12oz Collins glasses.) Importantly, a fizz is also served without ice in the glass.
Variant:
Some folks believe a Gin Fizz contains egg white, but the addition of egg white makes it a Silver Gin Fizz
With egg yolk it becomes a Golden Fizz
With a whole egg, it's a Royal Fizz
With brut sparkling wine in place of soda, it's a Diamond Fizz
With orange flower water and cream it's a Ramos Gin Fizz
With a dash of crème de menthe, it's a Green Fizz
With equal parts sloe gin and grapefruit juice in place of gin and lemon juice, it's a Purple Fizz
History:
A mid-19th century classic which appears in Jerry "The Professor" Thomas' 1876 Jerry Thomas' Bar-tenders Guide.
