Simple Cocktails...Gin Fizz'licious

Gin Fizz'licious: A classic twist on the Gin Fizz

The summer cocktail just got more delicious. A take on the classic gin fizz makes all your troubles go away. I’m always looking for a new way to create classic drinks. A drink that’s fresh with few ingredients and full of flavor. 

Gin cocktails are one of those sophisticated drinks. The classic Tanqueray and tonic comes to mind with the lime twist. I trusted the ole' friend Tanqueray gin because it rarely disappoints. I believe this might be one of my Bogeys' buddies favorite branded gins (Amy). 

Bogeys was a downtown bar from a million years ago located on Broadway between Water and Market Streets. It was a crazy, wild bar that many frequented for ice cold beer, a loud, headbanger band, and a game of quarters. Definitely not classy. 

Class or no class, try this delicious treat. Few ingredients are required. Just sip on the patio or deck and enjoy. 

Gin Fizz-licious
Shot of Tanqueray 
¼ of the juice from a grapefruit
½ teaspoon of powdered sugar
Club Soda
Cocktail Shaker
Sprig of fresh mint

Add ice chips to the shaker. Add the gin, grapefruit juice, and sugar to the shaker and shake it. In a tall glass, pour the mixture over cubed ice. Finish filling with club soda. Add a sprig of mint and a twist of grapefruit rind. Enjoy the flavor. The most wonderful sip is the first when you breathe in the mint before taking a drink. Fantastic.
