Even though we aren’t quite tropical around here right now, this Gin Fizz Tropical from The Slanted Door: Modern Vietnamese Food
Once we found some Pineapple gum syrup from Liber & Co – we were good to go. I think this pineapple gum syrup really adds to the creamy mouthfeel of this cocktail – so good! We slightly adapted the recipe to use a different type of gin and our own homemade orgeat.
Ingredients
- 1 ounce soda water
- 2 ounces gin, such as Plymouth
- 1 ounce lime juice
- 1/2 ounce orgeat
- 1/2 ounce pineapple gum syrup
- 1/2 ounce egg white
- lime slice, for garnish
- mint sprig, for garnish (we didn't have any)
Instructions
- Chill and 8-ounce fizz glass and add the soda water to it. In a mixing glass, combine the gin, lime juice, orgeat, pineapple gum syrup and egg white. Shake for about 10 seconds without ice (to emulsify the egg white), then add 3 or 4 large ice cubes to the shaker and shake for an additional 15 seconds. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into the fizz glass with the soda water. Wait for about 20 seconds for the foam to thicken and then add the lime slice. Pull the mint sprig through the middle to garnish.
- Makes 1

February 5, 2015 at 11:10 amOh my! This drink looks tasty! I could use a gin fizz tropical drink right about now. Maybe it will put me in a summery mood because the foot of snow outside isn’t doing it for me.

February 5, 2015 at 8:31 pmI really need to step up my cocktail making game! These look awesome. I usually just throw some tequila, lime, and agave together and call it a day.
