Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare all the ingredients on the counter to be able to work well and quickly, especially the cream and egg white.

2. 2

   Pour all the ingredients into a shaker.

3. 3

   Shake vigorously for 1 minute: cream and egg white must be mixed perfectly, so don't rush.

4. 4

   Now open the shaker and put some ice and shake for 1-2 minutes. It depends on how long you can resist!

   Pour into a highball glass, add a splash of soda and garnish to taste.

   Ramos Gin Fizz was once drunk as an invigorating drink or even as a breakfast, try it as an aperitif and after dinner and you will discover a little gem now lost.
