Effortlessly elegant and refreshingly fizzy, the classic Gin Fizz is a cocktail that strikes the perfect balance between tangy citrus, smooth sweetness, and frothy sophistication. This timeless recipe combines the crisp botanical notes of gin with fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and a luxurious, velvety foam created by shaking in a single egg white. A splash of club soda adds effervescence, making it a light and lively choice for any occasion. Ready in just minutes, this cocktail is both approachable and impressive, with a garnish of lemon peel or slice adding the perfect finishing touch. Ideal for brunches, happy hours, or late-night indulgence, the Gin Fizz is a must-try for cocktail enthusiasts craving a taste of vintage flair with a modern twist.
Fill a cocktail shaker with all ingredients except the club soda: gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and the egg white.
Dry shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white and create a frothy texture.
Add the ice cubes to the shaker and shake again for about 30 seconds until the drink is well chilled.
Strain the mixture into a chilled highball glass.
Slowly pour the club soda into the glass to create the signature foam on top of the cocktail.
Garnish with a lemon slice or peel, if desired, and serve immediately.
