How to make a mainelove Gin Fizz
A Gin Fizz takes the bones of a sour and adds bubbles. That means you get the botanical punch of gin, the brightness of fresh lemon, a touch of sweetness, and then a sparkling finish that keeps the whole thing from feeling heavy. Egg white is optional here; use it if you want that classic creamy foam, or skip it if you want the drink faster and lighter. mainelove With Bubbles handles the final lift without adding another competing flavor.
A quick history of the mainelove Gin Fizz:
Fizzes became a popular American cocktail family in the late 1800s, when bartenders were experimenting with combinations of spirit, citrus, sugar, and carbonated water. The Gin Fizz became one of the best-known versions, and later variations added egg white, cream, orange-flower water, or other embellishments. The basic drink, however, is still wonderfully simple. This recipe sticks to that foundation and uses mainelove With Bubbles for the soda component so the gin and lemon stay front and center.
