What you'll need to make my favorite Gin Cocktail recipe
- 1 egg white
- 2 oz of my easy Rosemary-Lemon Infused Gin
- The juice of ½ medium-large lemon
- 1 or 1.5 tablespoon simple syrup or honey
- Citrus seltzer, such as lemon
To make the Gin Fizz, you'll simply add the ingredients to a shaker and shake the hell out of them. This will encourage the egg whites to get nice and frothy. Next, you'll shake for another minute with some ice it get it extra cold, then strain over a glass of ice, and top with seltzer. Add some garnish for presentation, and that's it!
Let's talk egg whites role in the Gin Fizz
Using egg whites in a cocktail adds a silky texture and foam that can't really be replicated. Use fresh, pasteurized eggs that are fresh and properly refrigerated. This way, there's little to no risk involved in using them in your cocktails!
Tips for making sure your egg whites do their job
To make sure you get a silky, foamy cocktail, every time- make sure to do what is called a "dry shake" first. This means you'll want to add your cocktail ingredients to your shaker and shake VIGOROUSLY for 30 seconds to a minute to really let the eggs work their magic. Once you've done the dry shake, add some ice to the equation and shake again to get the drink nice and chilled, then strain over ice. This double-shake method will ensure your drink is frothy, silky, ice cold, and most importantly- delicious.
This Rosemary-Lemon Gin Fizz recipe is super easy to make! It's a fun cocktail to share with friends, and show off your home bartending skills.
