Gin Fizz ingredients

You’ll need just a handful of ingredients for a Gin Fizz. For our version, we’ve used maple syrup instead of simple syrup. We like making naturally sweet drinks with no refined sugar, and find that maple syrup is a gentler sweetener than a simple syrup. But even better, you don’t have to make a simple syrup at home: just grab a bottle of real maple syrup! Depending on where you live, you can often find locally produced maple syrup as well.

Here are the Gin Fizz ingredients that you’ll need:

• Gin
• Lemon
• Maple syrup
• Egg white
• Soda water

How to make a gin fizz cocktail

How to make a Gin Fizz? You’ll simply shake together the gin, fresh lemon juice, maple syrup, and egg white in a cocktail shaker with ice to make it cold, then pour it into two glasses. When you top off each glass with soda water, the carbonation combines with the egg white to make a frothy foam topping. It’s like magic! And it’s a trick that’s sure to impress all your guests.
