Highball Glass

Glass Guide- Highball Glass

This classic mixed drink is much like a New Orleans Fizz. The Gin Fizz has a very light sour citrus flavor unlike the orange of the New Orleans version.
Ingredients:
  • 2 oz gin
  • dash of lemon or lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp superfine sugar
  • 1 egg white (optional)
  • soda water
  • maraschino cherry for garnish
Preparation:
  1. Pour the gin, juice, sugar, sour mix and egg white into a shaker filled with ice.
  2. Shake vigorously. More than usual if using the egg white to ensure it is mixed thoroughly with the other ingredients.
  3. Strain into a chilled highball glass with ice cubes.
  4. Top off with soda water.
  5. Garnish with a cherry.
