What herbs go well with gin? ›

A classic French 75 co*cktail is made up of gin, lime or lemon juice and simple syrup, which is then topped up with champagne or another sparkling wine, served in a sours glass. It's also known as a Diamond Gin Fizz, because it's very similar to your standard gin fizz but you use champers instead of soda water.

The two gin highballs share every ingredient, though the Collins uses a little more lemon juice, and lime is a popular option in the fizz. The egg white is also a key difference. An authentic gin fizz (sometimes called a silver fizz) should include it, but many drinkers today choose to leave it out.

What is the difference between a Gin Fizz and a Ramos Gin Fizz? In addition to the ingredients present in a typical Gin Fizz (gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and club soda), a Ramos Gin Fizz also includes lime juice, orange flower water, heavy cream, and an egg white.

Rosemary. I've used rosemary as a garnish before and like what it offers. It's less savoury than you might imagine and, when sniffed in unison with the gin botanicals, it seems to change characteristics, offering fresher peppery and herby notes that pair well with the juniper.

Juniper berries are the backbone of gin. Juniper should be the dominant flavor and it gives the drink its fresh, piney character, as well as some of its dryness.

And then there is the Rickey, a sort of half-sibling to both the Collins and the fizz. It is fizz-sized, but it is built in the glass and served with ice like a Collins. Its main distinguishing feature is a lack of sugar, followed by its preference for lime rather than lemon juice.

Originally called The New Orleans Fizz, this co*cktail became so popular after its creation in 1888 that it took on the name of its creator – Henry C. Ramos of NOLA's Imperial Cabinet Bar.

Grand Marnier orange flavored liqueur is the result of a unique alchemy created by combining the noble taste of cognac with the exoticism of the bitter oranges. It's a unique blend of fine french cognac with bigaradia citrus fruits whose recipe has not changed since its creation.

Crisp, bubbly and light on the boozy, hard seltzer can make a fantastic alternative mixer to tonic with your gin. And, if it's a flavoured hard seltzer then all the better. Whether it's lemon, cranberry or lime-flavoured hard seltzer, they can be a great way to mix up a quick and easy gin co*cktail.

Why is the drink called Bucks fizz? ›

The drink is named after London's Buck's Club, where it is said to have first been served in 1921 by a barman named Malachi "Pat" McGarry (who features in the works of P. G. Wodehouse as the barman of Buck's Club and the Drones Club).

Combine sloe gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a co*cktail shaker. Add 1 cup ice; cover and shake until the outside of the shaker is frosted. Strain into the prepared highball glass. Stir in club soda and garnish with a slice of lemon.

The most popular of the gin botanicals includes flavours such as oranges, lemons or limes which provide a citrus fruit note to the gin. This is sometimes hard to identify when tasting the gin as other botanicals such as juniper or coriander can also provide citrus-like tones.

We love to mix it up with berries like strawberries, raspberries or blackberries; other citrus fruit like grapefruit, lime and blood orange; and even more unusual fruits that you might not think to add to a G&T, like grapes, pear, fig and apricot - there are no wrong answers!
