Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I substitute the gin with another spirit?
A: Technically yes, swapping out the gin for bourbon or rum, for example, would lead to a different type of cocktail, but feel free to experiment!

Q: What if I’m allergic to egg?
A: You can still enjoy a Gin Fizz without the egg white, it just won’t be as frothy.

Q: Can I skip the cream?
A: Yes, you can. The cream gives a richer texture but the drink will still taste great without it.

Q: Can I use store-bought lemon juice?
A: Fresh lemon juice is always preferred for maximum flavor, but you can use store-bought in a pinch.

Q: Can I prep this in advance for a party?
A: Unfortunately, Gin Fizz is best served immediately after preparation. However, you can prep the gin, lemon juice, cream, and egg white in advance and add the carbonated water just before serving.
