Ingredients
Instructions
- Fill a blender with ice.
- Add the egg white, sugar, frozen lemonade, orange flower water, and lemonade can half and half to the blender.
- Blend until smooth and well combined.
- Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer foam, use a fresh egg white rather than pasteurized. If you want a sweeter drink, adjust the sugar to taste or use a flavored simple syrup instead. You can substitute the frozen lemonade with fresh lemonade if you prefer a more vibrant flavor. Adding a splash of soda water can lighten the drink if desired. This vodka fizz pairs beautifully with American recipes like Grandma Madden's Potato Candy.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this Vodka Fizz in a tall glass for a refreshing summer drink. Garnish with a twist of lemon peel or a sprig of mint for an elegant touch. It pairs well with light appetizers like shrimp cocktail or a fresh salad. You can also enjoy it alongside a slice of Lemon Cake With Rhubarb for a delightful dessert pairing.
Storage & Reheating
This cocktail is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Re-blend before serving to restore the frothy texture, as the ingredients may separate. Be cautious with egg whites; always discard any leftovers that have been sitting out for too long.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this recipe without using egg white?
Yes, you can omit the egg white if you prefer. The drink will still be tasty, though it won't have the same frothy texture. Alternatively, you can use aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas) as a vegan substitute for egg white, which will give a similar frothiness.
What kind of vodka works best for this cocktail?
Use a good quality vodka that you enjoy drinking. A smooth, neutral vodka is ideal for this drink, as it will let the flavors of the lemonade and orange flower water shine. If you prefer, you can experiment with flavored vodkas to add a twist to your Vodka Fizz.
Can I make a non-alcoholic version of this drink?
Absolutely! To create a non-alcoholic Vodka Fizz, simply replace the vodka with club soda or a lemon-lime soda for added sweetness. This way, you can enjoy a refreshing lemonade drink without the alcohol while still retaining the frothy, creamy texture with the egg white or aquafaba.
