Advanced Techniques - How To Make The Ramos Gin Fizz

The Ramos Gin Fizz is a legendary New Orleans cocktail that is despised by some bartenders due to how much shaking is involved. Here I teach you how to make this milkshake of a cocktail without getting sore the next day.

Just finished making it, Thought my meringue was a little light but as soon as the soda water hit the glass I got the most beautiful foam on top. Enjoying it now, props for the recipe will make again.

I tried doing this in a blender to make a large batch, but the violence of the blender led to my favorite mistake ever. I pulsed the blender too long and got butter from the cream. I remade the cocktail in a batch, shaking each at the end for the foam, and we kept the butter and spread it on homemade orange scones the next day. It was by far the best mistake I'd ever made.

One if my favorite cocktails ever! Perfect counterpoint to eggs Benedict or crabcakes Benedict. The light, fluffy, citrus against the smooth, savory creaminess of the Hollandaise sauce. Super duper! Two of these during brunch along with coffee and you are ready to ease through the day in a delightful warm haze

Excellent instruction. My first (two ) Ramos Fizzes were circa 1987 at Sunday brunch Windows of The World in Twin Towers. I agree this is perfect brunch cocktail. It took another 15 years w advent of internet to find this recipe. On the rare occasion I’ve asked about one in a restaurant I’ve been met with blank stares or disdain. Fair enough, it’s a make it at home yourself kind of drink.

My mouth has been watering for these, for YEARS! A friend and I went to Cabo in the 90s on a trip I had won and we made fast friends with a wonderful and gay couple from San Francisco. We danced and partied and woke each other up at their doors in the mornings with trays of Ramos Fizzes in our hands, to begin our days! So glad I found this video!! I don't think the hotel used real egg whites though... I think they used a powder, if I remember correctly. Thanks for sharing! I am now a new subscriber and plan to make these over the holidays!!

I’ve tried this and several other recipes… this is by far the best one. Best tasting and gives the best head. Thank you

I mean that’s amazing how you got the foam head so straight. That’s serious artistry.

I think about this video every time I make this drink. I do it differently now but this is still the best video. Thanks for the inspiration.

I JUST discovered this cocktail myself the other day when looking for a way to use up a leftover egg. It tasted just like a key lime pie, so seal of approval from me!

I finally decided to make this today. After researching many videos i have found your method to be quite concise and effective. With your advice, combined with that of a few others, I was able to achieve well over an inch of meringue above the rim on the first attempt. The flavor is fantastic, a sort of lemon lime julius. I did take time to shake for 12 minutes (13 adding the dry). I was somewhat trepidatious until the pour... when velvety clumps of meringue began plopping into the highball. The effort was well worth the reward. A beautiful treat to behold and imbibe. Thank you for the great video.

Your writing just gets better and better with each vid! The little bits of humor here and there really make for an enjoyable view. =)

I loved the Ramos Gin Fizz cocktails that I used to get at the Cadillac Bar in Nuevo Laredo Mexico. I hear it's not what it used to be but oh what memories of what it was!!!

[flipmeg]

Nailed it the first time I tried!!!! Going to impress my friends next time I fix them a drink :) thx for the video

[maryw]

Great video! I love how you did not drink through the straw. took a real drink like a man!

[TheLazyHeffalump]

I just adore your channel. These are one of my favorite drinks and the local high end cocktail bar just despises making them. They said how hard they were to make but honestly, after following your tutorial, I made one easily. I'm so glad I found your channel. You are such a good teacher!

FINALLY found a restaurant with this cool cocktail on the menu!
