Albemarle Fizz

Pro tips

• Chill your glass with ice or in the freezer for 5 minutes before serving to maintain temperature.
• Use fresh-squeezed lemon juice—bottled lemon juice will muddy the brightness of this drink.
• Dissolve the powdered sugar fully into the lemon juice before adding gin to ensure even sweetness.
• Top with club soda or seltzer just before serving; the fizz dissipates quickly so don't pre-mix.

Substitutions

• Old Mr. Boston Dry Gin → any London Dry style gin (Tanqueray, Beefeater, Gordon's)
• Powdered sugar → simple syrup at equal weight (0.5 oz), or superfine sugar

What does a fizz cocktail mean?

A fizz is a sour-style cocktail topped with sparkling water or club soda to add carbonation and lightness.

Can I make this with fresh lemon juice instead of bottled?

Yes—fresh lemon juice is preferred. Use about 0.5 oz from one medium lemon.

What gin can I substitute for Old Mr. Boston?

Any dry London Dry style gin works well, such as Tanqueray, Beefeater, or Gordon's.

Do I need to chill the glass?

Chilling beforehand keeps the drink colder longer, but it's optional.
