Indulge in this legendary libation! A frozen concoction of Tanqueray London Dry Gin, fresh citrus juice, egg whites, cream, orange flower water and club soda...a sweet sip of New Orleans!
HISTORY
The ‘Ramos Gin Fizz’ was created in 1888 by Henry Charles Ramos at the Imperial Cabinet Saloon in New Orleans. Originally called the ‘New Orleans Fizz’, this light, frothy cocktail became so popular that it was re-named after its inventor. Cocktail legend tells that Ramos’ bar needed at least 20 bartenders working on the drink just to keep up with demand! The serve combines, gin, lemon and lime juice, egg white, sugar cream, orange flower water and soda water. Vigorous shaking is required to achieve the perfect creamy texture, and it is often garnished with orange or lemon slices.
