I’ll be the first to admit that I like pretty things — pretty clothes, pretty gardens, pretty rooms, pretty food, and pretty cocktails. On more than one occasion I’ve bemoaned the fact that I was born a minimum of 20 years too late. You can have the business attire and technology, I’d be perfectly happy in a wasp waisted dress, high heels, and pearls while I dusted my mid-century modern living room.

Needless to say I binge-watched Madmen on Netflix more than once.

So it’s no surprise that classic cocktails are my favorite. I mean the occasional Sex in the Driveway is great but I always go back to the collins, the sours, and the fizzes. They are elegant and pretty — plus people are always amazed when you know how to make them.

This Cherry Gin Fizz is gorgeous. There is a thick layer of foam over a layer of pink cocktail. It’s beautifully balanced with sweet and sour flavors… and the foam is creamy and light.

The Gin Fizz has been around since the late 1880s. It’s related to the Tom Collins but I think the fizz is prettier and more fun to drink. It’s also a great arm workout.

Put your gin and other ingredients in a shaker, add an egg white, and shake it like crazy. The better your shaking skills the better the foam comes out. Initially the whole drink will be foamy when you first add it to the glass but after a few seconds the foam will separate from the cocktail.

Traditionally the drink is made with club soda but I used diet ginger ale here to give it more layers of flavor. Feel free to go with club soda if you prefer less sweetness.

Gin Fizzes are supposed to be served in a tall, thin collins glass but I liked how it looked in the shorter and wider on the rocks glasses I had. I guess I am a rebel that way. Well, that and I don’t have a full set of bar glasses for every type of drink. Yet.

You’ll see a lot of Gin Fizzes on Pinterest but very few of them have the foam layer. Maybe people are afraid of raw eggs (I’m not – it’s that rebel thing again. I eat raw cookie dough, too). It’s too bad because then you don’t actually have a Fizz you have a Collins. If you are concerned about the raw egg aspect then use the pasteurized egg whites that you can find in the store.
