Cherry Gin Fizz

Cherry Gin Fizz

A simple gin fizz made with cherry gin, muddled cherries, lime juice, and a deliciously frothy egg white.

Cherry Gin Fizz

Before I met my husband, I used to be scared of eating a lot of things.  I didn’t eat most seafood, organ meats, lamb, the list goes on.  Now, I’ll try most things at least once and it’s opened up a whole new world!

When I realized that I was weirded out by egg whites in cocktails, I knew I had to try one at least once.  My first was the Ramos Gin Fizz… and I liked it!  The egg whites don’t really make the cocktail taste like egg, they just add a frothiness, a richness, and a layer of foam on top kind of like a cappuccino.

Cherry Gin Fizz

The trick to cocktails with egg white is to “dry shake” them first.  “Dry shaking” means to shake all the ingredients without ice.  This whips the egg whites before the ice has a chance to water them down, ensuring a nice, thick froth.

My first attempt at an egg-white cocktail is based on a very simple gin fizz, but with Dillon’s cherry gin and muddled cherries to enhance the flavour.  If any cocktail will get you over your egg white fears, it’s this one!

Now you have no excuses.  Get crackin’!
