Gin Fizz

Ingredients:

• 2 oz (60 ml) gin
• 1/2 oz (15 mL) fresh lime juice
• 1/2 oz (15 mL) simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water, heated until sugar dissolves)
• 4-6 ounces (120-180 mL) sparkling water
• sour lime
• ice cubes

Instructions:

1. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, pour 2 ounces gin, 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice and 1/2 ounce simple syrup.
2. Cover the shaker and shake all ingredients vigorously until well mixed and chilled.
3. Fill a tall glass with ice.
4. Strain the mixture from the shaker into the glass filled with ice.
5. Fill the glass with sparkling water, making sure it is filled to the brim.

This cocktail should be consumed quickly as the sparkling water will degas over time. Enjoy!
