Fizz a’ La Violette⁣

I found this recipe on diffordsguide.com. ⁣


old tom gin, creme de violette, lemon juice, simple syrup, cream, egg white, soda⁣

This is the second gin fizz cocktail I’ve tried in the project, but this one is very different. The first one I made was a regular gin fizz, this one is basically a Ramos Fizz with a little creme de violette. It looks like the difference between a Ramos and regular ol’ gin fizz is the addition of cream.⁣

And what a difference it makes! The cream elevates the drink from a sour gin drink with some foam on it to a creamy drink where the foam actually makes more sense. And talk about foam…the egg white plus the cream created foam the texture of stiff whipped cream, and plenty of it. ⁣

I also learned the techinque of “flash blending” for this cocktail. Flash blending a cocktail is to use a blender (I used my immersion blender) to blend the ingredients for four seconds, then you pour the contents into a shaker with ice. Then you get the upper body workout of shaking a fizz. ⁣

I just ordered some orange flower water so I can give a Ramos Fizz a try…I like this riff so much, I need to taste the OG fizz. ⁣
