Ep. 20: The sober preacher’s feature - The Ramos gin fizz and the violet fizz

A drink invented by a preacher who didn’t drink, it must be good. This drink is the holy grail of brunch drinks and it’s hard to stop at just one, but don’t let Henry catch you drinking too many. 

Ramos gin fizz

In your shaker, big side add

• Egg white 
• 2oz gin
• ½ oz lime
• ½ oz lemon
• ¾ oz rich Simple syrup (or 1 oz of regular simple)
• 6 drops Orange flower water
• Hit it with a few drops (2) of vanilla extract - if you want
• ¾ oz heavy cream - last because it will curdle if it sits too long

SHAKE the ever loving hell out of it, with ice for 30 seconds - 1 min, the longer the better.

Collins glass out of the fridge, add a little soda water to the bottom of the glass (about 1 fingers width)

Pour contents of shaker, from a height that’s a little higher than you normall would pour from (because you want the drink to splash and emulsify a little more in the bottom of your glass)

Let your drink rest for 1 - 2 minutes while you clean up your mess

Then add a little more soda water to the empty shaker, and shake it just a few seconds - top off your glass 

Garnish with an environmentally responsible straw in the middle of the drink - if you made the drink well the straw will stand straight up.

Violet fizz

Lavender syrup:

Equal parts water + sugar about 1 cup for each and 3-4 lavender flowers

Big shaker add:

• 1 egg white
• 2oz gin
• ½ oz creme de violette
• ½ oz lime
• ½ oz lemon
• ¾ oz Lavender Simple syrup
• 6 drops Orange flower water
• Hit it with a few drops (2) of vanilla extract, per brads recipe
• ¾ oz heavy cream

Reverse the dry shake here, I think it makes for an easier assembly.

Add ice and shake the hell out of it, at least 1 minute.

Open that cocktail shaker and strain into the other side of the shaker so the ice does not go into the shaker.

Now, take a hand frother and froth the hell out of it for at least 1 minute if not two.

No straining necessary here, just pour the mixture ¾ of the way into a tall Collins glass.

Top with that soda water and float the remaining cocktail to lift the drink up.

Garnish with a fresh lavender flower and put a straw in that bad boy, pat yourself on the back, and enjoy 

Top it after it settles if you don’t get it right away
