Gin shaken a full minute with cream, egg white, lemon, syrup, orange flower and vanilla, then lifted with soda into a towering foam. New Orleans' most demanding — and most rewarding — fizz.

Instructions

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

  2. Pour all the ingredients into a shaker.

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

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

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

  6. 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.
