Chicago Fizz

A refined pre-Prohibition era cocktail that bridges the gap between a sour and a highball. This drink features a unique base split between light rum and port, creating a complex flavor profile that is tart, sweet, and wonderfully frothy thanks to the inclusion of egg white. Finished with sparkling water, it makes for an elegant and refreshing sipper.

Ingredients

• 1 OZ Light Rum
• 1 OZ Ruby Port
• 0.5 OZ Fresh Lemon Juice
• 1 TSP Powdered Sugar
• 1 WHOLE Egg White
• 3 OZ Carbonated Water

How to Make It

1. Add the light rum, port, lemon juice, powdered sugar, and egg white to a cocktail shaker.
2. Perform a dry shake (without ice) for approximately 10-15 seconds to emulsify the egg white and sugar.
3. Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously until the mixture is well-chilled.
4. Strain the mixture into a Highball glass over two fresh ice cubes.
5. Top with carbonated water to fill the glass.
6. Stir gently to combine the ingredients without deflating the foam and serve immediately.
