Gin Fizz History
The Fizz is a cocktail category born in mid-19th century America. The name "Fizz" comes from the effervescent sound of the carbonation.
The Gin Fizz was first recorded in Jerry Thomas's famous bartender guide in 1887. It gained tremendous popularity as a morning pick-me-up drink in American bars.
The Fizz family has many variations. Adding egg white creates a "Silver Fizz," yolk makes a "Golden Fizz," and whole egg makes a "Royal Fizz." New Orleans' Ramos Gin Fizz, with cream and orange flower water, is another famous variation.
