Ingredients

50 ml Gin
25 ml fresh lemon juice, plus a slice
15 ml Simple syrup (1:1 sugar and water)
1 egg white (for a “silver fizz”) (optional)
60 ml soda water, well chilled
Ice

Method

Chill a small highball glass in the freezer; a fizz is served without ice.
If using egg white, shake it with the gin, lemon and syrup without ice for 15 seconds to whip it into foam.
Add plenty of ice and shake hard for another 15 seconds, until the shaker is painfully cold.
Strain into the chilled glass, then pour in the soda water slowly so the foam rises above the rim. Add the lemon slice.

Tips

The egg white is raw: use pasteurised carton egg white for pregnant or vulnerable guests, or leave it out (the drink is then vegan).
Like all gin drinks it is stronger than its light taste suggests: enjoy one slowly with water alongside.
