WWFB: Fluffy Angel Wings Edition
The scene: My house, autumn, pining for fluffy angel wings.
Re-creating the magical Ramos Gin Fizz from The Sazerac Bar in New Orleans, thanks to a recipe from Imbibe. According to legend, you’re supposed to shake it for 12 minutes. F that… I used the blender.
Ingredients
- 1½ OZ. OLD TOM GIN
- 1 OZ. SIMPLE SYRUP (1:1)
- ½ OZ. FRESH LEMON JUICE
- ½ OZ. FRESH LIME JUICE
- 1 OZ. FRESH EGG WHITE
- 2 OZ. HEAVY CREAM
- 3 DASHES ORANGE FLOWER WATER
- CHILLED CLUB SODA
Preparation
Add ice to the glass to chill and set aside. Add all the ingredients (except the soda) to an ice-filled shaker and shake vigorously for 12 minutes (LOL — or just use the blender, sans ice!). Remove the ice from the glass and strain mixture into the glass from a distance to ensure froth. Top with club soda.
VERDICT: 8/10 Not as magical as the real deal at The Sazerac Bar, but not bad for homemade. Will drink again!
