The Ramos Gin Fizz is a legendary cocktail created in 1888 by Henry C. Ramos at the Imperial Bar in New Orleans. This cocktail's most distinctive feature is the incredible 12-minute shaking process required to achieve its unique silky texture and voluminous foam.
With an alcohol content of around 12%, this sophisticated cocktail combines gin, lemon juice, lime juice, simple syrup, egg white, heavy cream, and soda water to create an extraordinarily smooth and creamy drinking experience. The combination of egg white and heavy cream creates the signature velvety texture that makes this cocktail truly special.
The Ramos Gin Fizz is notoriously difficult to make, earning it the nickname "the bartender's nightmare" due to its demanding preparation method. However, when executed properly, the result is an unparalleled cocktail experience that's unlike anything else in the cocktail world.
The technique involves continuous, vigorous shaking for exactly 12 minutes without ice, followed by careful straining and topping with soda water. This extended shaking process is what creates the distinctive foam head and silky mouthfeel that the cocktail is famous for.
Perfect for brunch or special afternoon occasions, the Ramos Gin Fizz represents the pinnacle of New Orleans cocktail culture and continues to challenge and inspire bartenders worldwide as both a test of skill and a source of professional pride.
