Classic Cocktail Drinks: Learn to make the classic gin and tonic cocktail drink recipe.

The gin and tonic is one of the all time favorites of the classic cocktail family.

One of the top ten classic cocktails. It is considered a highball cocktail. In some countries it is sold pre-mixed in a can! Often called simply as a "G and T".

A true international cocktail. A version of the drink dates back to the 1700's. The gin and tonic was created by the British East India Company army in India to fight malaria in the summer months. That is why people still today prefer to drink gin and tonics during the summer months.

Classic Cocktails: The "Ramos Fizz" recipe and history of a great vintage cocktail drink using Old Tom Gin.

Classic Cocktails: The "Ramos Fizz" or the "Ramos Gin Fizz" recipe and history of a great vintage cocktail drink.

"A popular Mardi Gras drink threw the years."


The Ramos Fizz is one of the most popular style of drinks labeled as a fizz cocktail. Fizzes are the close cousin to sour drinks.  To be a true Fizz drink it must contain acidic juice like lime or lemon and carbonated soda water.

There is  a version of this drink that dates back to 1887, when it was published in the bartenders guide as a then spelled "Fiz". The Ramos Fizz, was created by the famous bartender Hency Ramos. He was famous for serving these wonderful cocktails at Mardi Gras. 

This one takes some time to prep and to make, but the time involved is well worth it to experience one of the best cocktails of days gone by.  The secret to a good fizz drink is in the shake. To make a really good gin fizz, you gotta shake that shaker for at least a minute. I have seen top bartenders shake this drink for over 3 minutes before.

"Ramos Fizz" Recipe: (old school version)
Ingredients

• 1 1/2 ounce Old Tom gin ( (a sweetened version of, and the predecessor to London Dry Gin)
• 2 tbsp cream
