Ingredients
Instructions
- Rub the rim of a glass with a lemon wedge and dip into sugar to frost.
- Combine mandarin juice, gin, cream, orange-flower water, superfine sugar, lime juice, egg white, and crushed ice in a cocktail shaker.
- Shake long and steadily until the mixture is thick and frothy.
- Strain into the prepared glass.
- Fill the glass with club soda if desired.
- Garnish with a lemon wedge and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, use fresh mandarin juice instead of bottled. If you don't have orange-flower water, a few drops of vanilla extract can work as a substitute. To enhance the frothiness, ensure your egg white is at room temperature before shaking. You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of superfine sugar based on your taste preference.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Ramos Fizz in a chilled glass for a refreshing treat. It pairs beautifully with light appetizers like shrimp cocktails or canapés. For a festive touch, consider serving it alongside a slice of Ricotta (Skim) Cheese Cake for dessert, creating a perfect balance of flavors.
Storage & Reheating
This cocktail is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store the mixture (without club soda) in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, give it a good shake and top with fresh club soda to revive the fizz.
