A light and elegant pink gin fizz cocktail featuring fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, soda water, and edible flowers for a refreshing and visually stunning drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 60 ml (2 fl oz) pink gin (floral-forward brand like Hendrick’s or Bloom recommended)
  • 30 ml (1 fl oz) fresh lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 15 ml (1 tbsp) simple syrup (homemade or store-bought)
  • 60 ml (2 fl oz) soda water (quality sparkling water without added flavors)
  • 1 large egg white (optional, for creamy froth)
  • Ice cubes
  • Edible flowers (nasturtiums, violets, or pansies; organic and pesticide-free)

Instructions

  1. Chill your highball or Collins glass in the fridge or freezer for about 10 minutes.
  2. Squeeze 30 ml (1 fl oz) of fresh lemon juice, avoiding the white pith.
  3. In a cocktail shaker, combine 60 ml (2 fl oz) pink gin, fresh lemon juice, and 15 ml (1 tbsp) simple syrup.
  4. Add one large egg white to the shaker if using for frothiness (optional).
  5. Dry shake the mixture vigorously without ice for about 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white.
  6. Add ice cubes to the shaker and shake again for 20-25 seconds until well chilled.
  7. Double strain the cocktail into the chilled glass to remove ice shards and ensure smooth texture.
  8. Gently top with 60 ml (2 fl oz) soda water, pouring slowly to preserve the fizz.
  9. Float a few edible flower petals on top for garnish and aroma.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing burst.

Notes

Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor. Dry shake without ice to create froth with egg white. Pour soda water gently to preserve fizz. Use organic, pesticide-free edible flowers. For vegan froth, substitute egg white with 30 ml aquafaba. Simple syrup can be prepared in advance and stored refrigerated for up to two weeks. Store leftover gin, lemon juice, and syrup mixture refrigerated for up to 24 hours without egg white and soda water.
