The Silver Fizz is a classic cocktail that combines the refreshing qualities of citrus with the effervescence of soda. It is a delightful drink that offers a balance of sweetness and tartness, perfect for any occasion.
Add the gin, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white into a cocktail shaker without ice.
Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. This is known as a dry shake and helps to emulsify the egg white, creating a frothy texture.
Add ice to the shaker and shake again for another 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
Double strain the mixture into a chilled highball or Collins glass without ice.
Gently top with soda water, allowing it to mix with the cocktail.
Optionally, garnish with a lemon wheel or a twist of lemon peel.
Enjoy your refreshing Silver Fizz cocktail!
Notes
Ensure to use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. The egg white can be omitted for a vegan version, but it does contribute to the drink's texture and froth. Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of simple syrup according to your taste.
