Blood Orange, Ginger Fizz

A gin fizz is a pretty simple drink and easy to make with a cocktail shaker. Just add gin, elderflower liqueur, blood orange juice, and egg white, along with ice and shake. Then, strain into a coupe glass and garnish with a blood orange slice. So fancy and impressive.

Ingredients

1.5 oz Blood Orange Syrup 

2 oz GinISH 

.05 oz Elderflower Syrup

Splash of Ginger Beer

Egg White

Slice(s) of Blood Orange 

 

Instructions

 

  • Prepare the Glass: 

    Choose a highball glass or a similar glass for serving. Add ice cubes to the glass to chill it while preparing the mocktail.
  • Combine Ingredients: 

    In a cocktail shaker, add 1.5 oz Blood Orange Syrup. Add 2 oz of GinISH (non-alcoholic gin substitute) to the shaker. Pour 0.05 oz of Elderflower Syrup into the mix.
  • Add Egg White: 

    Carefully separate an egg white and add it to the shaker. Make sure no egg yolk gets into the mix.
  • Dry Shake: 

    Shake the ingredients in the shaker without ice. This is known as a dry shake and helps emulsify the egg white for a frothy texture.
  • Add Ice and Shake Again: 

    Open the shaker, add ice cubes, and shake the mixture again. This time the ice helps chill the drink while further frothing the egg white.
  • Strain into Glass: 

    Discard the ice from the prepared glass. Carefully strain the mixed ingredients from the shaker into the glass.
  • Top with Ginger Beer: 

    Add a splash of Ginger Beer to the mocktail. Adjust the amount to your taste preferences.
  • Garnish: 

    Place a slice or slices of Blood Orange on top of the drink for a visually appealing garnish.
  • Serve: Your Blood Orange, Ginger Fizz Mocktail is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve it immediately while it's chilled.
