Ramos Gin Fizz
🥃 Serve in: Highball Glass
Gin meets lemon juice and sugar syrup here, along with cream, egg white, and a touch of vanilla extract, all topped with a splash of soda water. Invented by New Orleans bartender Henry Ramos in 1888, it traditionally demands up to 12 minutes of vigorous shaking to achieve its signature thick, meringue-like foam. Rich, citrusy, and aromatic, it remains one of the great tests of bartending skill and patience -- a true bucket-list classic for serious cocktail enthusiasts.

Instructions
Prepare all the ingredients on the counter to be able to work well and quickly, especially the cream and egg white. Pour all the ingredients into a shaker. Shake vigorously for 1 minute: cream and egg white must be mixed perfectly, so don't rush. 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.
