Herbal Gin Fizz Recipe (2024)

FAQs

What herbs pair well with gin? ›

A classic French 75 co*cktail is made up of gin, lime or lemon juice and simple syrup, which is then topped up with champagne or another sparkling wine, served in a sours glass. It's also known as a Diamond Gin Fizz, because it's very similar to your standard gin fizz but you use champers instead of soda water.

The two gin highballs share every ingredient, though the Collins uses a little more lemon juice, and lime is a popular option in the fizz. The egg white is also a key difference. An authentic gin fizz (sometimes called a silver fizz) should include it, but many drinkers today choose to leave it out.

And then there is the Rickey, a sort of half-sibling to both the Collins and the fizz. It is fizz-sized, but it is built in the glass and served with ice like a Collins. Its main distinguishing feature is a lack of sugar, followed by its preference for lime rather than lemon juice.

Juniper berries are the backbone of gin. Juniper should be the dominant flavor and it gives the drink its fresh, piney character, as well as some of its dryness.

Gin can be classified as a botanically infused vodka. Vodka is called the “conception spirit” as it can be seen as the base from which other spirits are derived. So if you add traditional gin botanicals, like juniper, you can make gin from vodka. But not all botanically infused vodkas are gin.

Originally called The New Orleans Fizz, this co*cktail became so popular after its creation in 1888 that it took on the name of its creator – Henry C. Ramos of NOLA's Imperial Cabinet Bar.

What is the difference between a Gin Fizz and a Ramos Gin Fizz? In addition to the ingredients present in a typical Gin Fizz (gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and club soda), a Ramos Gin Fizz also includes lime juice, orange flower water, heavy cream, and an egg white.

Beyond the obvious tonic water, try soda water (let the taste of gin shine through), lemonade, ginger beer, ginger ale, orange juice and even co*ke - they're all nice mixers for gin. Also remember - don't need a mixer at all - try gin neat over ice.

Why is the drink called Bucks Fizz? ›

The drink is named after London's Buck's Club, where it is said to have first been served in 1921 by a barman named Malachi "Pat" McGarry (who features in the works of P. G. Wodehouse as the barman of Buck's Club and the Drones Club).

Ingredients. 1 1/2 ounces gin. 1/2 ounce lemon or lime juice, freshly squeezed. Ginger ale or ginger beer, to top. Garnish: lemon or lime wedge.

The premiere offering from Familiar Spirits distillery, The Butler's Gin is a fresh blend of juniper and citrus, balanced with elderflower. Delivering a silky smooth finish, making it your go-to for an effortless G&T. This flavourful gin is best served over ice or with your favourite mixer.

Bombay Sapphire is marketed in a flat-sided, sapphire-coloured bottle that bears a picture of Queen Victoria on the label. The flavouring of the drink comes from a recipe of ten ingredients: almond, lemon peel, liquorice, juniper berries, orris root, angelica, coriander, cassia, cubeb, and grains of paradise.

The most popular of the gin botanicals includes flavours such as oranges, lemons or limes which provide a citrus fruit note to the gin. This is sometimes hard to identify when tasting the gin as other botanicals such as juniper or coriander can also provide citrus-like tones.

Any favorite flavor pairings for gin (herbs, fruits, seasonings, etc?) Gin pairs best with citrus and savory flavors. Classic pairings include lemon, lime, cucumber, mint, thyme and even hot chile peppers. We love getting creative and trying new combinations!

Seafood platters are another great idea because gin pairs beautifully with fish and seafood like smoked salmon, smoked mussels, shrimp, and fresh oysters. Cheese: Creamy, earthy cheeses seasoned with herbs and spices are elevated when eaten alongside a glass of gin.
