Ramos Gin Fizz Recipe

I’ve been on this cocktail kick lately and decided to whip up a Ramos Gin Fizz that totally rocked my world by mixing 2 oz of gin with fresh lemon and lime juices, a shot of simple syrup, heavy cream, and an egg white for that perfect frothy vibe, then just tossing in a couple dashes of orange flower water and topping it off with soda water, which made the whole thing insanely refreshing and a bit wild.

I think my Ramos Gin Fizz hits a great balance of flavors. Mixing gin with fresh lemon and lime juice, simple syrup, heavy cream and egg white creates a cocktail with decent nutritional value.

I love how the orange flower water and soda water finish gives it a unique twist.

Ingredients

Here’s a little breakdown of some key ingredients in our Ramos Gin Fizz recipe:

• Gin gives bold, botanical flavor; zero carbs but packs a punch.
• Fresh lemon juice adds tangy zest and vitamin C, though it lacks fiber.
• Heavy cream brings rich, smooth texture but is high in saturated fat.
• Egg white supplies protein and a frothy feel, even if its taste is mild.
• Simple syrup sweetens the drink with extra sugar, balancing sour citrus notes.
• Orange flower water offers a subtle floral aroma that lifts the mix.

These ingredients all combine to create a uniquely refreshing cocktail you won’t forget.

Enjoy!

Ramos Gin Fizz Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• If you dont have gin, you could use vodka or even white rum. It will change the flavor a bit, but it still makes a cool cocktail.
• No fresh lemon juice? Try bottled lemon juice if you’re in a hurry though it wont have the same kick.
• If you cant use egg white, aquafaba (that chickpea water) works great as a vegan substitute.
• Missing heavy cream? Half and half can be a decent swap but its less rich.

Pro Tips

1. Pro Tip: Make sure your ingredients and glass are nice and chilled ahead of time. This helps ensure your cocktail stays cold and refreshing when you mix it up.

2. Pro Tip: Do the dry shake really well before adding any ice. This step, where you shake the gin, citrus juices, syrup, cream, egg white, and orange flower water on their own, is key for a good frothy head; if you rush it, the egg white might not blend in smoothly.

3. Pro Tip: When you add the ice for the second shake, don’t be shy—fill the shaker up and shake hard for about 20 seconds. This extra shake makes sure the mix gets creamy and well chilled.

4. Pro Tip: After topping off with soda water, stir gently instead of a vigorous mix. That way, you keep the bubbles intact and don’t disturb the creamy texture you worked so hard to create.
