About This Cocktail
The Royal Fizz is a refreshing cocktail that combines the tartness of citrus with the richness of egg white, creating a smooth and bubbly drink. It's a variation of the classic fizz family of cocktails, often featuring a base spirit like gin or whiskey. The Royal Fizz specifically uses a combination of gin, lemon juice, sugar, and egg white, along with a splash of soda water for a light effervescence. To make the cocktail, the gin, lemon juice, sugar, and egg white are shaken well without ice (a dry shake) to emulsify the egg white and create a frothy texture. After that, ice is added, and the mixture is shaken again before being strained into a glass. A splash of soda water is added for the final fizz, and the drink is typically garnished with a lemon twist or a maraschino cherry. The result is a smooth, slightly tangy drink with a frothy top and a light, bubbly finish—perfect for a celebratory or refreshing moment.
