THE RAMOS FIZZITINI
Good enough for a Governor!

Ingredients: Gin, Heavy Cream, Lemon Juice, Lime Juice, Powdered Sugar, Pasteurized Egg White, Orange Flower Water, Maraschino Cherry, Orange Slice



The Ramos Fizz is a "fizz" cocktail, a subset of the older "sours" family of drinks. The addition of an acid, like the citrus fruits, and the a carbonated water are what separates a fizz from a sour. Traditionally served in a large high-ball glass of 12 to 14 ounces, here I have seriously reduced the soda in order to fit a standard martini glass, making it more a sour than a fizz, but still yummy!

Originally called a New Orleans Fizz, the Ramos Fizz was invented by Henry C. Ramos at his bar in Meyer’s restaurant in New Orleans in 1888.  Huey Long, the governor of Louisiana, was so fond of this cocktail he brought Sam Guarino, a bartender at The Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans, to the New Yorker Hotel to show the staff there how to make it.  There is actual news footage of this event in the Museum of the American Cocktail.

In 1935 the Roosevelt Hotel group trademarked the name "Ramos Fizz" and it is still their signature drink.

Variations of the Ramos Fizz include:
The Gin Fizz –No orange flower water or lime
The Meyer Lemon Fizz – using Meyer Lemon in place of a standard, no orange flower water or lime
The Green Fizz – An addition of a dash of Green Crème de Menthe, no orange flower water or lime
The Silver Fizz – No Orange Flower Water, no lime juice, no orange flower water or lime
The Golden Fizz – Adds the egg yolk. no orange flower water or lime
The Diamond Fizz – Uses Sparkling wine instead of carbonated water and no orange flower water or lime
