Ramos Gin Fizz

Step into the enchanting world of mixology, where classic elegance meets a frothy, citrusy delight. This captivating cocktail is a harmonious symphony of flavors, a potion that bewitches the senses and transports you to a bygone era of refined indulgence.


Born amidst the swirling jazz rhythms of New Orleans in the late 1800s, the Ramos Gin Fizz is a true testament to the artistry and dedication of the craft of bartending. It's said that its creator, Henry C. Ramos, was so protective of his secret recipe that he would employ a cadre of "shaker boys" to shake the cocktail for an incredible 12 minutes, creating an ethereal, cloud-like froth that was nothing short of magical.


As you raise this effervescent masterpiece to your lips, you're not just sipping a cocktail; you're savoring a piece of history. The Ramos Gin Fizz is a journey through time, a testament to the artistry of the craft, and a reminder that even the simplest of ingredients, when combined with precision and passion, can create something truly magical.

"I can shake with one hand while I put away all of the ingredients that go into this drink with the other hand."
