About

The Ramos Gin Fizz was created in 1888 by Henry C. Ramos at his bar in New Orleans. It's a delicate cocktail that combines gin, cream, lemon juice, and egg white, shaken vigorously to achieve its signature frothy texture. It was originally popular with local New Orleans residents but gained fame after being promoted as a special drink for tourists. Today, it remains a classic choice for those seeking a refreshing, creamy cocktail. It is a bit of a labor of love to make, as the extended shaking process is key to its smooth texture and appearance.
