Serving Size

Equipment

Start with a shaker—a good one makes all the difference in mixing the ingredients.
You’ll also need a strainer to keep the texture smooth.
Grab a tall glass to serve your drink.

Using a jigger can help measure out the liquid portions accurately.
Have a whisk or frother handy to ensure the egg white is well-mixed, giving that creamy finish.
Finally, an electric citrus juicer makes it easier to get fresh lime and lemon juice.

Ingredients

Here’s the list of ingredients you’ll need. Each one plays a part in the cocktail’s unique taste and texture:

2 oz gin
1 oz heavy cream
0.5 oz lemon juice
0.5 oz lime juice
1 oz simple syrup
1 egg white
2-3 drops of orange flower water
Soda water

Instructions

Making a Ramos Gin Fizz takes a few steps but is well worth the effort!

Combine the gin, cream, lemon juice, lime juice, simple syrup, egg white, and orange flower water in a shaker.
Do a dry shake first—with no ice—to mix well. This helps the egg white blend best.

Add ice to the shaker and shake again until it’s well-chilled.
Strain into a tall glass without ice and top with soda water to create a frothy head.

Shake, strain, and serve. Make sure the glass is full and frothy at the top!

Notes

Here are some extra tips to refine your drink-making process:

Shake long and hard: This cocktail needs a strong shake to create its signature foam.

Temperature matters. Make sure your ice is fresh to chill quickly without watering down your cocktail.

If you’re unsure about using raw egg whites, consider using pasteurized ones. It’s a safer option without losing texture.

Tasting Notes

When I take a sip of the Ramos Gin Fizz, it feels like a cloud. So light and fluffy! The hint of citrus makes it refreshing, perfect for a sunny day. The creamy texture is just right, thanks to the rich egg white and cream mixture. 🍋✨

Key Flavors:

Gin: Provides a smooth base.
Citrus: Adds a zesty kick.
Cream and Egg White: Offer creamy sweetness.

I love how the flavors blend so well. It’s balanced, without one taste overpowering the others. Every ingredient works together beautifully.

With a delicate hint of vanilla from the extract, it’s not too sweet, which I find delightful. 🌼 The effervescence from the soda water gives a gentle fizz, making it lively.

My favorite part is the frothy top. It’s like a small, fluffy cloud right on my glass. When I finish one, I often feel like having another! 😊 Enjoy it yourself and see what you think.

Substitute

Sometimes I want to try new twists on the classic Ramos Gin Fizz. Here are some fun ways to switch it up! 🍹

Switch the Gin: If you’re adventurous, trade the gin for vodka or rum. Each gives the drink a unique flair.

Cream Alternatives: Sub in coconut milk or almond milk for the cream. It adds a nutty flavor and is great for those who prefer non-dairy options. 🥥

Citrus Swap: Instead of lemon juice, try lime or orange juice. You’ll get a fresh, zesty taste that’s slightly different! 🍋🍊

Sweet Details

Syrup Options: Use honey or agave instead of simple syrup for a different sweetness.
Flavored Syrups: Consider vanilla or lavender syrup for a floral touch.

Egg White Options

If raw egg whites aren’t your thing, use aquafaba (chickpea water). It whips up nicely and is vegan-friendly! 🌱
