Ingredients
- 2 oz Gin
- 1 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1 oz Fresh Lime Juice

Instructions

Notes
The Ramos Gin Fizz is traditionally shaken for an extended period to achieve the desired frothy texture. Orange flower water can be adjusted according to personal taste, but a little goes a long way.
For a more authentic experience, consider using a vintage-style cocktail shaker, and be patient with the shaking process for the best results.
