Adding the piece for "Beind the Bar" collaboration is genius. Thank you for keeping our spirits high with such a high quality entertainment.

My granddad’s signature cocktail was the Ramos Gin Fizz. I remembered him always using a blender - took me awhile to realize that he would make an entire pitcher at a time and just let the blender whip the merengue. When I tried it, it worked perfectly the first time!

I made this for my wife a few months ago, did the whole thing and actually got it to stand up and she was like “oh that looks pretty nice” and then took a sip and said she didn’t like it 😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑

Oh yeah, that is gorgeous looking drink. Thank you for the great tips to create and maintain the signature foam head of the drink. Cheers!

Nice tie in with Cara's collaboration video. The freezing technique is a great new take on the cocktail. I'm sure it saves you from shaking until your arms go numb. I definitely agree with Cara's advice of making the one who ordered take a turn shaking and work for their Ramos.

Love the collab you did with Cara and the other cocktail youtubers on this drink. This looks awesome with that foam this time around. Getting close to that 200K! Lets get it!

Love the seamless transition into the collab! I work in 2 izakayas so I don't have to make drinks like this. Awesome video!

I didn't have heavy cream but really wanted a ramos gin fizz. I replaced the cream, simple syrup, and vanilla for..... vanilla ice cream I had in my fridge. Its just so much easier to shake, and way better head thanks to the additional emulsifiers commercial ice cream has. Sure not traditional, but in a pinch it works, also different ice cream flavors open a whole world of exploration.

Best video by this channel yet! Love it

😄 That was a fun bit at the end. One of these days someone is going to science the crap out of the Ramos and figure out the absolute ideal best way to do it, hopefully without as much crazy effort. Sort of like what Camper English did for clear ice.

That collab is so badass glad to see it here too

Great job as always. I also like Erik Lorincz' technique where he omits the dry shake, and shakes the drink with ice for about 15 seconds. According to him, the technique is to pour the soda and the drink in one combined stream.

Great video Leandro! ...this is one of those cocktails, every time I make it, I'm so proud of myself because it takes a long time! But then I try it and I'm always disappointed! LOL.. I just don't like this drink, but I keep hoping that the next time, I'll like it! haha

I took some advice from your White Russian video and I added a spring from a Hawthorne strainer into the tin when I dry shook it. The foam came out super frothy. Very nice!

Another great video. Thank you!

Very clever my friend 🙂 ! Looking forward to making this.

I'm loving the Ramos Gin Fizz pass around

Now that's what I called self improving!

Nice as usual and lovely shaker throwing

Was expecting to see this when I saw your setup out for Cara’s video... it’s cool to see it improve over the old video. Please show us your prairie oyster! That is something funky to try with the poor yolks we toss so often tending our homebars.

I've subbed the orange flower blossom with licorice bitters as a test and it's weird but a good weird. The strong licorice scent mixed with the lemon lime adds a different layer of depth when sipping.

I approve of this cocktail.

Ramos gin fizz is always a challenge. I just did a vegan variation on my channel and there was a lot of trial and error involved. The chilled glass is a great tip! I’ll have to do that next time!

That was very nice end gag.

I use the method I saw on a video that Erik Lorincz does. Shake in a cobbler for 20 seconds and pour into the glass with the soda making it into a single stream. Gives the same result but in about 30 seconds

Genius 👍

Try using a blender ball or the spring from the Hawthorne shaker to shake everything. Keep the soda in the fridge until the last minute. The shake and keeping everything super cold is key to that rising foam

Granted, he'd make about four at a time in a blender, then freeze them for a few minutes before adding the soda and freezing, but my uncle used to treat us to these every Christmas growing up. If I hadn't quite drinking these, Bloody Marys and Brandy Alexanders all on deck.

Could you possibly make a video doing 3 or 5 different Cocktails including Empress 1908 Gin? I really want to see you use it’s Color changing ability to it’s fullest!!

For the RGF, you don't really need to put it in the freezer for that long. It only needs to be in there (if at all, I've definitely made RGFs without putting the drink into the freezer) until it is cold enough so that when you tilt the glass at an angle, the foam stays put. (Passing the "tilt test" is a sign that it's ready to lift.) Also, instead of removing the straw/bar spoon and pouring the soda into the hole, I usually leave it in. I pour the soda first into an OXO measuring cup "jigger" (the one with a beak) then pour the soda against the straw, using it to "guide" the soda water safely to the bottom of the glass, which helps lift the RGF up more evenly.

I’m the same way you whip heavy cream with the spring from a Hawthorne strainer, could you throw the spring in the shaker? Or would it do something weird to the egg white?

The Ramos Gin fizz, the love hate cocktail with bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts. So good you want one, but takes so much work that you don't want to make them often.

I never had to do that trick to get the cylindrical froth lol. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Also, what happened to shaking with ice for dilution after your dry shake? Did you compensate by adding more soda?

As a bartender I have many problems with this technique hahaha even though it looks great and it works I cant help but cringe that he put it in the freezer and put the soda water in first haha

there's gin! i'm here for it!

This curdled HARD when I tried it. I think I like the single cube shaken until fully melted technique more tbh

Do we have a substitute for orange water? I read somewhere that we can use some orange zest while shaking.

I know this video is a bit old but I have the answer for you. You can make this with the column in minutes like almost any egg white drink. You need to dry shake and shake with ice BEFORE you add the GIN. Then add gin and give a shake to combine. I learned this by accident making a friend a "non-alcoholic" gin fizz. The foam was so much more than when I made regular gin fizz. I just tried with this recipe. Only thing was I didn't seem to get enough out of it to fill the collins glass so it took too much seltzer to raise above the top of the glass. But I got an awesome column. Edit to add that I did shake with ice and the cream and foam was stuck to the ice and that's why I had minimum volume. Maybe shake with 1 ice cube.

Would it be fine to replace the orange flower water by orange bitter?

I have an attachment for my reciprocating saw I use to shake my rattle cans when I want to paint. I wonder if I can rig my Boston Shaker into it 🤔😂. Last night was an Absinthe night for me....got tired of shaking all those Flip Side cocktails tho damn those are good! I want to try this but that shaking...I dunno

I recently learned how to make a Ramos Gin Fizz using a Hamilton Beach, after hearing about a high volume bar where that's the only way they do it. The results were pretty good, but now I have to try the freezer technique in this video so I can do a really great one. The only downside is that, in terms of taste, the Ramos isn't my favorite cocktail. Personally, I prefer a Tom Collins (or a regular Gin Fizz), which is also easier to make. But that's about the Ramos recipe and not the technique in this video.

Would a Ramos Gin Fizz work well as blender cocktail? Considering all the shaking required, I wonder how it would compare to a shaken version

@TheEducatedBarfly

Yep. One of the many techniques people employ to get that good foam is a blender :)

Try out what I call my Tiki Sizzurp. Adds hella complexity to simple drinks... 12oz water simmered w/ 9 inches of cinnamon sticks, dissolve in 12oz coconut sugar, 12oz cane sugar, 4 drops orange blossom water, 1/2oz real vanilla extract, pinch of nutmeg and salt. Here’s a cocktail recipe: 1oz 151 Rum (I used Lemonheart) 1oz Coconut Rum (I used Blue Chair) 1oz Lime Juice .5oz Tiki Sizzurp .5oz Tamarind juice or Pineapple juice -pour over crushed ice -top w/ club soda and more ice

Awesome, love it, we don't think we could make it, could you help us out with ours 🤣🤣🤣

I recently made a drink by necessity that turned out great :is just a shiraz (dry red wine) fizz in which I put 3 Oz wine, syrup and lemon with egg white and top of soda. What do you think about it? When I tasted it I felt it missed something strong like absinthe or something like that

@trevormannion14

I know I am not the guy you are asking and I do hope he gets to you, but I will say this and feel free to disregard. I do not know your exact proportions but that does need something more stiff: it seems unproportioned. That has too much volume for wine to pack much of a punch. Which means either drop the wine amount then add something with more cutting capacity like higher ABV than 15% and dropping because of all the other additions. It is right up the line of a new york whiskey sour with more length (club soda). You need something with some extra “umph” in there and that can really be your preference but there are better choices than some. I use gin with ports and sherries often to balance cocktails. Dry reds tend to pair well with whiskeys. Sounds like a fun project however. Keep playing with it and you will find something.

Wow

we use that trick too a lot when we do heavy cream for drinks like our brandy Alexander and White Russian. Just be careful not to over shake it.

Is it possible to use aquafaba for the chicken scared?

Some advice I could give. keep ALL the soda for the very end, after shaking and pouring into the glas, let it stand for 2 minutes (freezer or room temp) and then add the Soda to build that foam crown

Looks cool but, if you don't shake with ice the dilution will be off... Right?

Makes perfect sense. Awesome recipe, thank you!!

Here’s how I make mine. 3oz gin, 1 oz simple syrup, 1 oz heavy cream, 1/2 oz lemon juice, 1/2 oz lime juice. Egg white and cold soda water (I use la croix flavorless, but you can use a lemon or lime flavor as well). Add a good sized single clear cube in your tin. Add your ingredients except for the egg white. Shake this for a good 30 seconds. Strain into a pint glass. Place the pint into the freezer. Separate your egg white into your tin, throw in a small whisk ball, and add your pint glass ingredients from the freezer. Shake for a good 45-60 seconds. Feel free to take a break in between these shakes. No need to rush. You’ll know it is good and ready when the top is ready to pop off. Take your highball glass out of the freezer and pour in your ingredients. Make sure to catch the whisk ball. Now put this glass back in the freezer. At this point rinse/wash off all of your utensils: tin, strainer, whisk ball, jigger and your pint glass. I like to rinse my cubes and throw them back in the freezer as well. Your drink only needs to sit for a few minutes. 10 is a bit excessive. Get your glass out of the freezer along with your cold soda water. I pour my soda water into a small glass with a pouring spout on the rim. Picture a miniature measuring glass. You want to pour your soda water into the middle of the foam. You want to maintain a calm, steady, and focused stream. Pour slowly as the foam rises above the rim of your glass. It should be nice and thick. It will rise at least 1/2”-1” high depending on how much soda water you add. Now drop your glass or metal straw in the middle of the foam. I always like to drop a drop of orange blossom water down the straw then 3 or 4 around the foam. Now enjoy your drink. For a pic of mine checkout my ig: jonotis , I’m not selling anything or trying to advertise. Just a weekend cocktail enthusiast.
