THE RAMOS GIN FIZZ COCKTAIL - Plop plop fizz fizz oh what a relief it is!

- Shake, shake, shake, Senora? Getting’ Fizzy with it? No matter how you look at it, this cocktail is all about the shake. The Ramos Gin Fizz is another pre-prohibition cocktail. It was almost lost during prohibition but luckily its creator Henry Ramos was kind enough to publish the recipe in a New Orleans newspaper before his death. Originally when making a Ramos Gin Fizz, you had to shake it for a whole 12 minutes. Can you imagine? Can you imagine waiting that long for a drink? The reasoning behind that was that’s how long it took to get the right texture. We’re not going to spend 12 minutes of you watching me shake a cocktail (although the episode would have an avant-garde feel to it) Instead we’ll go over a couple different methods that will still give you that creamy, frothy top. There are so many flavors going on here and you don’t even taste the gin. As described by drinks historian Dave Wondrich, “It’s supposed to be a cloud you lay back on, sit back and float awhile.

Love your videos they have a certain swagger to them that is not snobbish. Keep it up Bruce.
Thank you I will!
You seem to be a very happy uncle, and I am happy too. I would have been so much happier if I found your channel earlier.
I am a happy uncle! My nephew is actually the videographer/editor of all my episodes. It’s a family gig. Ha
New subscriber! I’m so glad I found this channel. Cheers!
Luis M time to go watch the library. Lots of good stuff.
Hey. Thanks for subscribing. Have fun exploring the channel and keep checking back.
Loving your work Bruce, always one of my favorite cocktail channels on RUclips XD
Great video,you produce some of the best cocktail tutorials on RUclips. The are fun, instructional and historical. Keep up the good work please!
Thank you for the kind words. New episode releasing soon!
Eggcellent video!! (Yeah, yeah, someone had to say it.)
Love ya Bruce!
Teri Smith that cracked me up 😉
Ha. Thanks for watching, new episode releasing soon.
Hilarious! Best channel on RUclips. Ive made this drink many times for girlfriends and now the wife and its always a big hit. At first glance the ingredients dont seem to make much sense but it really is delicious.
You can’t go wrong with this one! Cheers.
Bruce your videos deserve 100 times the views. Cheers sir.
I know right! Ha. Tell your friends and thanks for watching. Cheers
This guy is LOONY... and I like it! Just stumbled onto these videos, so fun and entertaining to watch. I'm already hooked.
Awesome! Glad you’ve been enjoying the channel. I’m definitely loony as a toon! Ha
I am thinking make à Ramos gin fizz with the bee pollen syrup you made earlier ! That could bring something really nice i believe 🤔
Hidden People_ good idea. A thick bees knees
Nice to see the creative juices flowing. Sounds like a winner to me. Cheers!
@@BarTalkCocktails you inspire really well ! Even the vidéo about classic cocktails give good idea 😁
I gonna try and tell you how it is after it
I did it !! Works really well just need to change a little some quantities for the balance. That was great 😀
But... when i wanted To clean my material i took the last drop in the shaker and warm was even better!!
So i took a tiny pot, poor all ingrédients (just no more sparkling water on this one), and on small heat beat it until the egg does a nice form. Ouuuh that's was good and the texture so smooth !!! Thanks for you work it s give us great ideas
Thanks again for all of the interesting history. I will have to try adding my club soda in the tins.
Thanks for watching. Lots more on the way.
This is my favorite channel because of quality videos and this experienced funny guy.
Hey thanks for watching!
This is gold!
I try. Ha. Thanks for watching.
This looks like a real workout! I have to try this. Thank you, for another great video!
It is a workout! You may need to call in some back up.
Great production!! Especially like the guest shakers. Tried this a long time ago but I will try this again with the few little tweaks you discovered. Thanks Bruce!
We love the shtick, ha. New episode releasing soon!
What a cool guy! First time watching this channel, I think I'll stay :0
Stay awhile there’s lots to catch up on. Thanks for watching, cheers!
I got an idea to throw out there for ya...
How about an episode where you test drive a few viewers' concoctions? At the end of your next episode, request that viewers post original recipes in the comments...
Or how about a Bruce original? You must have come up with a few in the last 40 years, right?
Thanks for the suggestion... There’s quite a few Bruce Original cocktails on the channel. The most recent one was the Bee Bomb.
BarTalk&Cocktails maybe a Patreon exclusive idea
Time WELL spent!,informative &entertaining,even if you dont drink!!!,well done,thank you.
Thanks Richard!
That was fun….I felt like I was at my uncle Sal at his bar he built in his basement were I have had the best cocktails ever at the best family gatherings..
Great video - thank you Bruce!
Thank you for watching!
Who is producing this? What a team! Bruce's personality and theatrical gifts with the talented producer guiding him on how to talk to himself on that shaking gag. I'm quitting my desk job to go back to bartending today!
Breakfast cocktail why not.
I know right. Ha.
Finally! You make this cocktail!
I know! It’s been on my to do list for awhile. Enjoy.
love this channel, lookin slick in the black shirt
Thanks! New episode releasing soon.
This guy is a hoot! Love his vids!
Thanks Don!
Beautiful👌.
Really enjoyed the cinematography shenanigeries ;)
We aim to please.
I could totally go for one of these in the Big Easy, even if I'm more of an IPA, wine, or G&T guy. I'd add a few dashes of Angostura bitters at the end personally, but that's just me.
Can’t go wrong with bitters.
One of my all-time favorite drinks. I rarely order it, though, because I know how annoying it is to the bartender. I may just have to do it myself at home.
As a bartender I appreciate that. Ha. I’ll have to start working out more if my guests start ordering a lot of these.
BarTalk&Cocktails simply go to Home Depot and borrow their paint shaker. Not sure if it does 12 minutes though. It might give up too 😂
Great video!!! Thank you bruce!
Thank you for watching. Lots more coming down the pipe.
I make a spin off of this I call "Grandma's Decorative Soap Basket." Instead of simple syrup, use 0.75oz grenadine, and 0.75oz Creme de Violette. *6* drops orange blossom water, and 6 drops rosewater. I also use *2* oz coffee cream to soften all that soapy flavour a bit more... but I don't shake until all the ice is gone. Honestly, who could bother? The drink is creamy and delicious without such nonsense.
I’ll have to give it a go! Thanks for sharing.
I would love to party with this guy. He sounds so fun
Ha I’m a riot! Partying by myself during quarantine isn’t that much fun though. Thanks for watching.
Your a class act . Keep it up.
Thanks Roy!
Hey Bruce, I see you have some Polish vodka there. How do you like Luksusowa? It's one of the few old PL vodkas still made out of potatoes.
Thanks for noticing. However, that bottle of Luksusowa is actually a cherry flavoured vodka - Luksusowa Wisniowa Cherry Liqueur. It's made from real cherries (which is nice to know) and fine grain spirits. I like it because it's not syrupy sweet. It has a very light consistency which surprisingly lingers on as you sip. There's a real balance of spicy ginger mixed with the taste of sweet hard cherry candy. It also has a wine-like quality which I found interesting. I occasionally add a titch to my Manhattans, just to change things up. I've yet to try Luksusowa potato Vodka. I'll be on the lookout. Cheers!
@@BarTalkCocktails It's very popular in Poland. As a fun fact, I can tell you, that the name means "luxurious" in Polish. Also- could you do a vid about workhorse spirits you prefer to use? You know, best price-quality ratio whisky, rum, etc.
When you add soda _prior_ to shaking, it's a gin _flat._ Nah, but seriously, I love these. A little more sour though- I prefer 3/4 oz of lime and lemon each, and a beer glass so there's more room for soda water. In my case it'll be all down the hatch before it has a chance to separate. This isn't a cocktail you want to give the chance to warm up. Oh, and I hate dry shaking, so what I do instead is simply give the ingredients a scramble with a fork, and I don't end up with eggy drink all over my hands.
This man shakes a cocktail with himself and this only has ~7800 views as of now. C R I M I N A L.
I know right! Ha
Thanks for watching !
Made my 1st one (no soda around) today. WOW!
I’ll have six of those! 🤣...no hurry take your time!
I quit. Ha
Ratios are fine but you wanna use Old Tom Gin for an authentic Ramos and if you want that big beautiful foam: Don't shake with soda. Dry shake and then shake with 2 ice cubes (depends on size, mine are 1in by 1in and two works perfect) until all of the ice is gone. Chill your glass! and then add a splash of soda to the bottom. Open pour that bad boy into the glass all the way to the top and then put the drink in the fridge for 3-5min. Take the drink out and poke a whole in the meringue, add more soda to the remnants of the drink in your tin and then pour through the hole and you will get a perfect cylinder of meringue an inch above the glass if youre careful.
Your recipe sounds like a marvellous way to make a Ramos Gin Fizz. As Henry Ramos once said, "The secret of success lies in the good care you take and in your patience, and be certain to use good material." There are many ways to make a Ramos Gin Fizz. Old Tom Gin is authentic, but if you can't get it then you use what's available. Even the original recipe calls for 1 Tbsp powdered sugar, yet we often use simple syrup today, which is perfectly fine as it also adds a little more volume to the drink. Also, Henry Ramos used crushed ice, not cubed to shake. I prefer to shake all the ingredients, including the soda water together. It forms a froth with staying power. Also, shaking it up with the seltzer is from Henry Ramos's original recipe. Published in an article featured in New Orleans Item-Tribune, writer Don Higgins interviewed Henry Ramos and got him to hand over his recipe. Here is his recipe, verbatim:
Ramos' Original Gin Fizz
- One tablespoonful powdered sugar
- Three or four drops of orange flower water
- One-half lime (juice)
- One-half lemon (juice)
- One jigger of Old Tom Gin
- The white of one egg
- One-half glass of crushed ice
- About two tablespoonful of rich milk or cream
- A little Seltzer water (about an ounce) to make it pungent
Together well shaken and strained (drink freely)
Hey Masta Bruce... Got one question for ya.. Do u know who is the first bartender who flair? Whats the history behind it and who invented it? I cant get anything outta internet regarding flairing bartender... Pls Advice.. Thank You Unc... Much Luv always.. 🤗
I would have to say the original flair bartender was "the father of American mixology", Jerry "The Professor" Thomas. He was well known for his showmanship as a bartender. Sometime before 1862, at the El Dorado gambling saloon in San Francisco, he developed his signature drink, the Blue Blazer. He would toss arcs of flaming whiskey back and forth between silver mugs. He was elaborate with technique and would juggle his bottles and cups. Look him up. Cheers!
@@BarTalkCocktails Thank You So Much... RESPECT !!!!!
This one I'm practicing. One tactic I've seen is to pour half of the cocktail out, add your soda water, and pour the rest on top.
problem is, when I do that I then get a bunch of foam on top that's hard to sip, meaning I can't drink this without a straw.
I plan on being a bartender by this summer and I hope I don't ever have to make 3 of these one after the other.
Now that you made mention on hoping to never make 3 Ramos Gin Fizz cocktails in a row, you put it out there, and it will surely happen. Ha! Good luck with working bar this summer. It'll change your life... Cheers!
@@BarTalkCocktails let's just say the DNC will be in my town in 2020, so we'll be slammed.
and since we're talking about this, I'll probably get the Louisiana delegates who all love this drink. oh well, time to get ready
If you have stomach issues substitute Brioschi for the lemon-lime. And you'll have more fizz.
You need to share your drink with your *stun doubles* . 😁😃😄
Nah, they’re all for me. Ha
Have you considered making a Slow Gin Fizz video? I'd appreciate it should you in the future!
Thanks for the suggestion!
👍❤️😁😀Nice....
Thanks for watching and writing in! Cheers
Good video as always, where did you get your lemon squeezer? I want one! 😁
Hmm, I honestly don’t remember. I’ve had it for quite some time.
After attempting to make this for the 1st time today. (Because I actually have all the ingredients) I made a huge mess in the kitchen. He's not kidding when he says make sure your shaker is tight after putting in the soda water. Holy shit... Fucking gin fizz jizz EVERYWHERE
😂... did you enjoy it?
Bruce, Where do I get or how do I make orange flower/blossom water?
I've always bought orange blossom water at my nearby grocery store. Making your own is very time-consuming. First, you have to pick the orange blossoms, clean them, crush them with a mortar and pestle and then mix with a little water and let bask in the sunshine for at least two weeks. You could try buying them off of Amazon. Cheers!
I thougjt hes gonna have heart attack 😂
Nah I’m healthy as a horse.
Laugh like in dark souls (huhhahuhh)
Ha. Thanks for watching. New episode releasing soon.
If you’ve ever seen the movie “ earthquake “ the bar scene with George Kennedy and Walter Matthau . I could drink in that bar with you behind making drinks 🥃🍹🍻🍺🍸
No I haven’t, I’ll have to look into it. Thanks for watching!
I wonder when the citrus was combined with milk, it is ok?
The egg white acts as an emulsifier so it will mix
Why not blend it?
Blending a Ramos Gin Fizz is a great cocktail hack. You can certainly make a beautiful Ramos Gin Fizz with a very stable head of fluffy, meringue-like foam in a blender. It makes less mess and is the easiest way to make this finicky, fussy cocktail. You just have to be careful with how much ice you use. Try a 1"x1" ice cube and blend it until it's gone. Cheers!
Thank you for the tip!
I don't know why, but lemon seems made for gin.
Very complimentary indeed.
Am I the only one who got a mind fuck from him saying twice "after it's shaken"?
and miss the other option?
You’re using my family name in vain!
My apologies! Ha
@@BarTalkCocktails no apologies needed! I had my friend make this for us yesterday he’d never heard of it - and we all loved it !! It was delicious . Tasted a bit like a “lemon creamsicle” thanks Bruce for the recipe !
You do such great work here on your channel. Thanks for the laughs.
Thanks for noticing. It’s a lot of hard work but it’s fun!
