Silver Fizz

A Silver Fizz is the classic Gin Fizz dressed up with egg white: gin, lemon, and sugar shaken hard until the white whips into a fine, pillowy foam, then lengthened with soda for a long, frothy refresher. The "silver" tag — egg white, versus the egg-yolk Golden Fizz and whole-egg Royal Fizz — dates to the 19th-century American fizz craze, with the earliest printed recipe appearing in Jerry Thomas's 1876 Bar-Tender's Guide. Crisp and citrus-bright with a creamy lift, it drinks like sunshine with a soft collar.
