Description:
The Gin Fizz is a classic member of the fizz family, where a sour is lengthened with soda water. It emerged from 19th-century American bar culture and remains one of the clearest formulas for a light gin cocktail. In flavor, it is dry, citrusy, and refreshing. Soda water makes it lighter than a short sour, and the quality of the gin strongly affects the aroma of the drink.
