Imperial Fizz - Whiskey Fizz

By Colleen Graham, About.com

Highball Glass

Glass Guide- Highball Glass

The fizz family of cocktails use soda and sugar for the "fizz" feel and sound and only differ from one another by the base spirit and the occasional added flavors. The Imperial Fizz, also known as the Whiskey Fizz, is a classic and a wonderful mixed drink that deserves to be made with only the best whiskies (typically a blended whiskey). Club soda can be used to fill the glass, but it's best with real soda fresh out of a soda siphon.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz blended whiskey
  • 1 oz lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp superfine sugar
  • 4 oz soda

Preparation:

  1. Pour the whiskey, lemon juice and sugar into a cocktail shaker with ice.
  2. Shake well.
  3. Strain into a highball glass filled with ice.
  4. Fill with the soda.
  5. Stir well.
