History

A Gin Fizz variation mellowed and fluffed with egg white. While it's possible to create a visually impressive head far above the glass rim, the extra soda needed dilutes the cocktail considerably, making it difficult to enjoy the liquid beneath the foam.

A classic from the mid-19th century.
