Ramos Gin Fizz

When we go to New Orleans we always have the Jazz Brunch at Court of Two Sisters.  Heavenly!  I had never enjoyed a Ramos Fizz before having brunch here – although my Mom loved them.  This morning the New Orleans “bug” hit me and I had a strong need to enjoy something NOLA related…. One Ramos Gin Fizz coming up!

 

Ingredients:

 

1 ½ oz good gin

1 dash (3 to 4 drops) orange flower water

1 large egg white

2 oz half & half

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon simple syrup

1 cup ice cubes

2 tablespoons (1 ounce) club soda

 

Directions:

 

In large cocktail shaker, combine gin, orange blossom water, egg white, half-and-half, lemon juice, lime juice, and simple syrup. Shake vigorously for 25 seconds – or use an emersion blender. Add ice and shake for 30 seconds more.

 

Place three or four ice cubes into a glass - strain mixture into it.  Slowly pour soda water down inside edge of shaker to loosen remaining froth. Gently ease soda water/froth mix onto drink and serve.
