Ramos Gin Fizz
Ramos Gin Fizz
- 2 oz. Gin
- 3 oz. milk
- 1 egg white (optional)
- 2 tbs. lemon juice
- 1/2 oz. Simple syrup
- Dash orange flower water
- Club soda
Combine all ingredients except the club soda to a chilled mixer and shake well
for at least one minute. Strain into a highball glass filled with ice and then
top off the glass with a splash of soda (this should create the "fizz").

Henry C. Ramos, a saloon owner in New Orleans circa 1900, invented the
Ramos Gin Fizz. He said the drink was to be equated with "drinking a flower."
Ever since then it has been a popular New Orleans classic.
