Welcome to Drinks Tube I'm Simone and we're about to prepare a classic Ramos Gin Fizz
it's smooth it's velvety it's silky but really refreshing at the same time, aromatic, romantic,
it looks like a silky meringue flying over the clouds you will see it's amazing originally
created in New Orleans in 1888 by the very famous bartender Henry C. Ramos Henry C. Ramos,
you bartender-Bravo! That's my boy! The cocktail itself will be served without ice so let's
chill the glass and we're gonna leave it here for a while first put a tiny bit of syrup
approximately 20 ml then we add lime and lemon you massage the nice juicy lemon we do
the same with the lime we're gonna squeeze 15 ml of lime and we do exactly the same thing
with the lemon and now we can add the egg white don't worry about fresh egg whites some
people go crazy about it I prefer to use dinosaurs egg but right now they're very difficult to
find so buy a nice organic egg in your local store and it'll be perfect for any cocktail
nice texture and nice froth we're gonna put 20 ml of cream and this together with the
egg white will give such a velvety texture you will go crazy! Then we add 50 ml of gin,
25 and 25 we're gonna reach 50 ml and obviously using gin will give all the kind of the dry
juniper berry clean crispy flavor light and bright in the palate we're gonna add couple
of drops of vanilla extract so the drinks contain fresh egg whites and some of the cocktail
recipes require that when you use fresh egg whites you should do a dry shake this is not
necessary you shake well and vigorously with ice and this technique will be perfect trust
me I'm a bartender this drink is so famous because it was delicious and because it was
shaken for almost 12 minutes in fact all the famous bars in New Orleans in the 1800s were
full of shaker boys young boys who were in charge just to keep shaking, keep shaking,
keep shaking, so let's do it we put ice to almost 3/4 then we pour all the mix inside
trust me it won't be 12 minutes maximum 2-3 minutes but very vigorously now if you open
the shaker look what a froth you've made, this became a liquid cocktail meringue now
our tall glass has been sitting now with a few minutes with the ice it's very cold let's
get rid of the ice we're gonna add a tiny bit of soda water just a half centimeter just
a splash and we do the same on the cocktail just a tiny bit the bubble will make like
this to bring up all the froth look now look at that big cloud we add a tiny bit more just
soda water just a little drop and we start to rise we're gonna add the water of orange
flower just a couple of drops this fresh floral bouquet of oranges and if you want squeeze
a small disc of lemon peel we're gonna squeeze this essential oil here so the glass will
be all zesty and aromatic alright the Ramos Gin Fizz let's dip ourselves in 130 years
of history back to New Orleans guys it's so easy to make it it's fun with a liquid velvety
sensation the fresh juniper the note of honey the orange flower water if you really love
