Pro Tip: Whenever using eggwhites, separate the egg BEFORE you add anything else, thus if you mess it up and get some yolk in your shaker, you dont ruin all the expensive spirits
Hi Steve, first of all like your vids, keep on going👍👍 I see a lot of vids for cocktails wherein you use egg whites. Do you recommend using eggs from the fridge or eggs on room temperature? Is/could there be a difference?
Hi! glad you enjoy the videos! Although there is the option to store eggs in fridge or pantry- we are definitely a fridge based family here (it gets quite warm in SA) and as you are ingesting them in a raw form I'd recommend fridge eggs. If you're not a fan of the egg white you can use a foaming bitters or aquafaba (chickpea juice) as other options that still offer you great texture.
Try a reverse dry shake if you want more foam: first with ice, then without. Then you can just do a dirty dump (pour into glass without strainer) and keep all the foam! Remember to shake with ice until chilled and no longer, we want as little dilution from the ice as possible.
Allows for the foamy texture on top. Similar to a meringue ! Silky mouthfeel but not a whole lot of taste, like you don’t get any hint of egginess like you’d think.
Gin fizz = no egg white Silver fizz = egg white Golden fizz = egg yolk Royal fizz = whole egg Although it’s pretty common to call one with egg white a “gin fizz” also..

Pro tip: don’t mess it up 😂😂😂
@@StevetheBartender_ guess that works😂
Just separate the egg into the other tin
Personally if this happened to me at home I’ll just turn it into a Royal Fizz 😭😂
Im now a good bartender because of watching your videos......thank you
Try it with raspberry syrup! Now you’ve got a Pink Fizz - a carbonated Clover Club.
Raspberry with white egg?
Yes most “sours” use egg whites for a frothy texture, but it doesn’t make it taste like eggs.

I always wonder if you should strain a foamy drink. I feel like some of that rich tasty foam ends up getting stuck in the strainer.

So the egg needed for texture and taste? Or it helps to something else ?

What is the point of the egg white? Iike is it a flavor or texture thing?
Egg white is for texture.
Does the highball glass need to be filled with ice?
Not usually for a fizz. Just make sure the glass is ice cold and shake with plenty of ice, and you should be fine.
A fizz needs the extra volume for the soda water and resulting foamy head so definitely leave out the ice
so a bees knees with egg white, did this last night and dididnttn even know lol
Sorry of, although the Bees Knees has honey.
Isn't this also called a Gin Fizz?
Yes.. silver = egg white, golden = egg yolk, Royal = whole egg.
@@StevetheBartender_Huh, I didn't know that. I guess I learned something new today.
What is the name of cocktail?
Silver Fizz
Thank you very much!
May I asking you what we can use for garnish ?
So it’s a gin sour?
Gin sour wouldn't have soda water
I would say it is an easier version of the Ramos Gin Fizz.
@@unknownsheep2366I agree! Much easier version
So it’s a gin sour with soda
This is literally just a gin fizz…
Gin fizz = no egg white
Silver fizz = egg white
Golden fizz = egg yolk
Royal fizz = whole egg
