How to Make Gin Fizz

  1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
  2. Add 2 oz London Dry Gin, 1 oz fresh lemon juice, and ¾ oz simple syrup (or ¾ oz sugar) to the shaker.
  3. Close the lid tightly and shake vigorously until the sugar is completely dissolved and the shaker feels cold (about 15-20 seconds).
  4. Fill a tall, chilled glass halfway with ice.
  5. Strain the contents of the cocktail shaker into the prepared glass.
  6. Top up the glass with 3-4 oz of chilled club soda or sparkling water. (Ideally, use slightly less soda than the combined gin, lemon, and syrup.)
  7. Garnish with a lemon twist or a brandied cherry (optional).
  8. Enjoy responsibly!
