description Golden Fizz Overview
The Golden Fizz is a variation of the classic Gin Fizz that uses a whole egg rather than just egg white. The cocktail combines gin, fresh lemon juice, sugar, and a whole egg, shaken thoroughly and served over ice in a tall glass, then topped with soda water. The inclusion of egg yolk creates a richer, creamier texture and a characteristic yellow color compared to the standard Gin Fizz.

What makes a Golden Fizz different from a regular Gin Fizz?
A Golden Fizz uses a whole egg, while a classic Gin Fizz traditionally uses egg white or no egg depending on the recipe. The yolk gives the Golden Fizz a richer color and texture.

The drink combines gin, fresh lemon juice, sugar, and a whole egg. It is shaken thoroughly with ice, strained over ice in a tall glass, and topped with soda water.
Why must a Golden Fizz be shaken so hard?
The vigorous shake emulsifies the whole egg with the gin, lemon juice, and sugar. This creates the drink's creamy body before soda water is added.
Is a Golden Fizz the same as a Ramos Gin Fizz?
No. A Ramos Gin Fizz is associated with New Orleans bartender Henry C. Ramos and typically includes cream and orange flower water. A Golden Fizz centers on a whole egg and does not require those ingredients.
