Gin Fizz

Based on a recipe from The Ultimate Book of Cocktails by Stuart Walton. He says, “The combination of sourness and fizziness in this 19th-centurey recipe is what makes it so refreshing.”

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 1

Ingredients

• 3  tablespoons  gin (2 measures)

1. Add gin, lemon juice and sugar to ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake until the sugar is dissolved.
2. Prepare a tall frosted, narrow glass by filling with ice half-way.
