The Unforgettables IBA
Gin Fizz
Brunch in tall glass
A sparkling, citrus-bright long drink where gin and lemon meet effervescent soda. Light, lively, and the kind of drink that makes afternoon drinking feel civilized.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 oz Gin
- 1 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1/3 oz Simple Syrup
- 2 3/4 oz Soda Water
Method
Add gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup to a shaker filled with ice. Shake well until chilled. Strain into a highball glass filled with ice. Top with soda water and stir gently. Garnish with a lemon slice.
Documented in Jerry Thomas' Bar-Tenders' Guide (1887 edition) as a foundational member of the Fizz family, comprising gin, lemon juice, gum syrup, and seltzer. Per Difford's Guide #840 and the IBA's The Unforgettables list.
