Lemony and bubbly, this Gin Fizz cocktail is the perfect balance of citrus and gin flavors. This drink is made with egg whites that froth when shaken for a drink that is fun to sip and fun to serve.

Ingredients
- 2 ounce gin (60ml)
- 1 ounce lemon juice (30ml)
- ¾ ounce simple syrup (22ml)
- 1 egg white
- club soda
- Lemon slice for garnish
Instructions
- Combine the gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white in a cocktail shaker without ice. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds.
- Fill the shaker with ice and continue shaking until the outside of the shaker is well chilled, about 30 seconds.
- Strain into a chilled highball glass filled halfway with ice and top off with club soda. Garnish with a lemon slice.
Notes
- Dry shake the cocktail first. A “dry shake” means you add the ingredients to the cocktail shaker and shake without ice. This is necessary when you have ingredients like egg whites that need a head start incorporating well with other ingredients. If you don’t do this before the ice is added, you won’t get as much foam and can end up with strands of egg white in your beverage.
- Shake, shake, shake. After adding the ice, shake the gin fizz cocktail vigorously for several seconds to help add air, chill the ingredients, and get the eggs frothier.
- Serve in a tall glass. Serve this classic cocktail over ice in a tall glass such as a high ball or Collins glass to best showcase the sparkling soda water and foamy top layer. Or, skip the ice and choose a rocks or lowball glass.
- Use larger ice cubes to prevent the drink from being watered down. Larger ice cubes work best for this cocktail instead of crushed ice. A crushed ice or smaller pellet ice will melt quickly, diluting the drink in addition to inhibiting the foam from rising and forming on the top.
- Use a large jar if you don’t have a cocktail shaker. You can make shaken cocktails in any large jar with a lid, such as a mason jar. Select a jar that will have enough room to add a handful of ice in addition to the cocktail ingredients. To strain, use the lid offset a bit to catch the ice but release the liquid, or use a fine mesh or hawthorn strainer.
- Sweeten things up. If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, increase the amount of simple syrup to your liking.
