The Silver Fizz is the creamy variation of the classic Gin Fizz and is prepared with egg white. This gives it a silvery white, velvety foam crown that makes the sparkling drink especially elegant. Gin, lemon juice and soda provide the refreshing base.

Instructions

  1. Add gin, lemon juice, sugar syrup and egg white to the shaker.
  2. First shake vigorously without ice (dry shake).
  3. Add ice cubes and shake again for about 15 seconds.
  4. Strain into a highball glass and top up with soda.
  5. Garnish with a lemon slice and serve.

Garnish: Lemon slice

Pro tip: First do a dry shake without ice, then shake with ice - this makes the egg white foam especially dense and stable.
