Gin Fizz Cocktail

This 19th century recipe is truly refreshing thanks to the combination of acidity and effervescence.

Ingredients

• Gin - 50 ml (3 tablespoons)
• Juice of half a large lemon
• Refined sugar - 1 tsp
• Soda water

Directions

1. Shake the gin, lemon juice, and iced sugar until the sugar dissolves. Pour into a chilled, tall and narrow glass half filled with ice. Top up the glass with soda water. Attach two straws.
2. Ideally, the soda should be slightly less than the other ingredients. But, this is a matter of personal taste.
