Frequently Asked Questions 

What is a gin fizz with egg white?

A gin fizz with egg white is a classic cocktail known for its light, frothy texture. The egg white creates a silky, smooth mouthfeel and a beautiful, thick foam on top of the drink. When properly made, it elevates a simple gin fizz into a luxurious and visually appealing cocktail.

What does spiced cranberry cocktail syrup taste like?

A spiced cranberry cocktail syrup typically combines the tartness of cranberries with warm, aromatic spices like cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg. This creates a flavor that is both sweet and tangy with a subtle spicy kick, making it an ideal ingredient for fall and winter cocktails.

What is a "dry shake" and why is it important for this cocktail?

A dry shake is the process of shaking cocktail ingredients without ice. This is essential for a gin fizz with egg white because it helps to emulsify the egg white and create a stable, velvety foam before the ingredients are chilled.

Can I make this drink without the egg white?

Yes, you can make this cocktail without the egg white. While it won't have the same creamy texture and frothy head, the flavor will still be delicious. Simply combine all the other ingredients with ice, shake, and strain into your glass before topping with soda.
