If there was ever a time to try a Ramos Gin Fizz, Mardi Gras is it.
The fizzy, frothy, creamy drink was invented by Henry C. Ramos in the 1880s, in his bar, the Imperial Cabinet Saloon at Meyer's Restaurant in New Orleans. The two ingredients that make the cocktail a Ramos Gin Fizz are orange flower water and egg whites. The "fizz" comes from shaking the drink. Supposedly, the drink has to be shaken for at least five minutes.
Rub the rim of a glass with a cut lemon, then dip in sugar. In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz. gin, ½ tsp. orange flower water, 1 egg white, 1 oz cream, 1 oz. lemon juice, and ½ oz. lime juice. Shake vigorously for five minutes, until frothy. Pour into sugar-rimmed glass with ice, and top off with soda water.
