Think twice when you think you’ve finished shaking this creamy Ramos Gin Fizz. You have only just started. Keep trembling. Shake some more after that. It’s a lovely cocktail, but to achieve the desired smooth texture, you must vigorously shake the juice, cream, and egg white. Keep trying; it will be worthwhile.

Reviews
I dunno… I followed the instructions and used the right ingredients, but there was a bitter aftertaste. Only thing I did differently was to first beat the egg white separately with an immersion blender, because I can never lose the slimy sensation of the egg white by just shaking. I used Hendricks gin.
Bartending in California, I learned to make this with a twist. Instead of adding the lemon and lime, I used orange juice. To sweeten a little, I use triple sec or Cointreau. Finally, I would mix in a blender and strain. It’s perfect for a Sunday morning brunch.
Yuuum! Although I made some changes due to diet and ingredient availability, it turned out great and this is a recipe I will definitely make again in the future. The changes I made were: subbing some no-sugar-added-cranberry juice for lemon and lime, and swapping sugar out for 1/2 tsp stevia, swapping gin for vodka, and also swapping half & half with heavy cream. I also used a blender and added the ice and soda at the end to prevent it from getting slushy and going flat.
One of my all time faves. I don’t add the egg white because I think it’s yucky, I just shake it for longer and I still get the foam.
awesome….exactly what I wanted with my “blue”gin for a lovely summer drink.
This is the same recipe given to me 30 years ago by a friend, and I will vouch for the fact that it’s really, really good! I always mix it up in a blender rather than using a cocktail shaker.
