Hank's Gin Fizz

Update!

In a taste test last Christmas at the SwearSwarm, we tasted the original against my OJ alternative and the original was preferred by all!

This recipe came from my father. It was a staple at Sunday Morning Football Parties, New Years Day Parade or pretty much anytime a before noon cocktail is appropriate.

He called it a Gin or Ramos Fizz but I have never seen anything like this in a bartenders recipe book. I include both his original version and my revised recipe.

Hank's Gin Fizz:

In a blender, combine:

1 cup Gin
1/2 cup Half and Half
1/4 cup Lemon Juice

1/4 cup Cocktail Sugar (superfine granulated)

1 Raw Egg
1 cap full Orange Flower Water (No longer available, use 2 cap fulls Orange Blossom Water)

Fill with ice and blend until semi-smooth then serve in flutes.

My current recipe substitutes 1/2 cup Orange Juice for the Lemon Juice and Sugar.
