Lady Love Fizz
A delightful variation of the classic fizz, the Lady Love Fizz combines the botanical notes of gin with the richness of light cream and egg white. Balanced by tart lemon juice and sweetened slightly with powdered sugar, this effervescent cocktail offers a smooth, frothy texture and a refreshing finish.
What it tastes like
The aroma is clean with a faint botanical scent and a bright citrus lift. The palate offers a balance of sharp lemon and subtle sweetness against a backdrop of juniper. The egg white and cream produce a thick, airy mouthfeel that is cut by the carbonation, leaving a crisp and refreshing finish.
