A Little History

The Gin Fizz family of cocktails emerged in the late 19th century, known for their light, refreshing style. The Sloe Gin Fizz became especially popular in the mid-20th century, offering a fruitier, more vibrant take that still feels timeless today.

Variations

• Royal Sloe Gin Fizz: Top with champagne instead of soda water for a celebratory serve.
• Egg White Fizz: Add egg white before shaking for a silky texture and creamy foam.
• Bramble Fizz: Float a spoon of Humdinger Cherry Gin Liqueur over the top for added berry depth.
• Herbal Fizz: Muddle fresh mint or basil before shaking to add a refreshing herbal lift.
• Summer Berry Fizz: Add muddled raspberries or blackberries for extra colour and fruit richness.

Serving Tip

Serve in a tall highball glass with plenty of ice. For a creamier mouthfeel, shake the first three ingredients for longer before adding soda water.
