Silver Fizz Cocktail Recipe
With the Olympics on sports fans everywhere, we decided to whip up another cocktail for watch parties. This one starts with gin and has a perfect balance of sweet and sour and a frothy finish.
Servings: 2 cocktails
Ingredients
- 2 egg whites
- 1 ounce of lemon juice
- 4 ounces of gin
- 4 ounces of club soda
- 2 teaspoons of sugar
Instructions
- Add the lemon juice and sugar into a shaker and stir just until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the gin and the egg whites.
- Give the cocktail shaker several vigorous shakes without ice. This helps emulsify the egg whites and creates a frothy texture.
- Add ice to the shaker and shake again until well-chilled but not so much that it's watered down.
- Strain the liquid into two chilled Collins glasses (6-8 ounces each).
- Quickly top off each glass with club soda.
- Optionally, garnish with a lemon twist or slice.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
To achieve a nice frothy texture, make sure to dry-shake the mixture without ice before adding the ice for the final shake.
If you prefer your cocktail to be sweeter, you can adjust the amount of sugar to your taste.
You can also experiment with different gins to find your preferred flavor profile. Some gins are more botanical than others and a stronger flavor could affect the taste.
Adding a lemon twist or slice as a garnish can enhance the visual appeal of the cocktail.
It's always important to use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. If in doubt, pour a little bottled lemon juice in a glass and our fresh into another glass and compare.
Make sure to strain the mixture before serving to remove any small bits of egg white.
