The gin fizz is a classic mixed drink that is very similar to a whiskey fizz. The main difference is in the base spirit. There are a number of other “fizz” cocktails to enjoy; all are very refreshing and easy to mix and can take on a different personality depending on the adjustments you make.

Gin Fizz Classic Recipe

Almost identical to the popular Tom Collins the gin fizz has a very slightly sour citrus flavour that allows the gin to shine against the fizz of the soda. The two gin highballs share every ingredient although the Collins uses a little more lemon juice with lime being a popular option in the fizz.

The egg white is also an important difference. An authentic gin fizz (sometimes called a silver fizz) should contain it but many drinkers now choose to leave it out. The use of the egg white has a big impact on the fizz providing a lovely mouthfeel and frothy top that makes for a pleasant drink.
