I decide to explore two cassic sours – the fizz and the collins now. I do not prepare this cocktails before and this is my first experience. The fizz is realy very old mixed drink from strong alcohol (preferable gin), lemon juice, sugar and carbonated (or aerated) water.

The fizz is realy very old mixed drink from strong alcohol (preferable gin), lemon juice, sugar and carbonated (or aerated) water. The fizz must be shaken. This drink should serve in the special delmonico glass.

Gin Fizz

45 ml gin
20 ml fresh lemon juice
20 ml simple syrup
up to 60 ml soda water
Shake thoroughly all ingredients (except soda) with a lot of ice. Strain in to delmonico glass (or another tumbler) filled with ice-cubes. Fill with soda. No garnish.

The amount of all ingredients may be vary.

Actually, properly made Gin Fizz is fantastic drink! The Gin Fizz has light smooth and very refreshing taste of gin’s botanicals and sweet and sour citrus taste.

You may use flavoured gin for this drink. For example you can prepare Orange Gin Fizz.

Orange Gin Fizz

45 ml orange gin
20 ml fresh lemon juice
20 ml simple syrup
soda water
Shake thoroughly all ingredients (except soda) with a lot of ice. Strain in to delmonico glass (or another tumbler) filled with ice-cubes. Fill with soda. No garnish.

I use Seagram’s Orange Gin for this drink. The Orange Gin Fizz has bright citrus and very refreshing taste. It is great drink.

You may use in yours fizzes some liqueur also. Some times ago I posted about Fraises Fizz, one of my favorite summer cocktail. Now I prepare the Watermelon Gin Fizz with watermelon liqueur.

Watermelon Gin Fizz

45 ml gin
20 ml fresh lemon juice
20 ml watermelon liqueur
15 ml simple syrup
soda water
Shake thoroughly all ingredients (except soda) with a lot of ice. Strain in to delmonico glass (or another tumbler) filled with ice-cubes. Fill with soda. No garnish.

Watermelon Gin Fizz is very pleasant refreshing drink with light and fancy taste of ripe watermelon. If you use liqueur by MB you obtain almost clear drink.
