Is this the hardest cocktail to clarify? | How to clarify the Ramos Gin Fizz

The Ramos - creamy and silky, with a big foamy head. Is this the hardest cocktail to clarify? In this episode I show you how to clarify the Ramos Gin Fizz - a legendary cocktail, which I made in the previous episode. It’s known as one of the hardest cocktails to make, but can we get the same tasting notes, texture and the big foam with a clarified version? Find the recipe of this Clarified Ramos Gin Fizz, and the links mentioned in the episode, below.

Clarified Ramos Gin Fizz:
· Milk-Clarified “Ramos”*
· splash of soda
· Milk & Orange blossom Foam** on top
Stir the Milk-Clarified Ramos with ice and pour into a frozen glass. Add a splash of soda and spoon the Milk & Orange blossom Foam on top.
* Milk-Clarified Ramos Gin Fizz:
· 60 ml (2 oz) Monkey 47 gin
· 22,5 ml (0.75 oz) lemon + lime juice
· 10 ml (0.33 oz) Rich Gomme syrup
· 3 drops vanilla extract
· 60 ml (2 oz) condensed milk
Mix all the ingredients except condensed milk (without ice). Pour the milk into a separate bowl and pour the mixture over the milk. After a couple of minutes, strain curdled milk through a filter to achieve a clear cocktail.
**Milk & Orange blossom Foam:
· 300 ml (10 oz) cold water
· 19 g skimmed milk powder
· 4 g soy lecithin
· 0,7 g xanthan gum
· 10 drops Orange Blossom Water
Mix everything in a blender and pour into a big bowl. Pump air into the mixture (I used an aquarium air pump) to get the foam as airy as possible.
Enjoy it like a true lady or gentleman, responsibly!

    I haven't tried this recipe yet, but for the part of the aquarium air pump: It's less effective, but using a cheap milk foamer (or even a normal stick blender, held at an angle) also works well for generating foams with soy lecithin. (Just as a hint for people who want to recreate this but don't have a pump laying around ^^)

    In the UK Condensed Milk is definitely sweetened and is like a thick milk syrup. I think the milk you use is either what we call Evaporated Milk, which is sold canned. Or Sterilised/Homogenised, or UHT MILK, where the milk is heated at a higher temperature than pasteurised, and the process homogenises the fat into the milk. Which milk was it?

  • @KevinKos

    The Aquarium air pump is great because it has that stone at the end of the tube which forces a lot of small air bubbles into the mixture. I guess that smoker would work ok but it will create different bubbles. It's worth trying.
