The Lone Tree Cooler is a refreshing twist on the classic Gin Fizz family. Its origins likely lie in the late 19th century, when carbonated water and powdered sugar were popular additions to gin-based cocktails. The citrus notes and garnish nod to the enduring popularity of citrus-forward drinks.
The Lone Tree Cooler is a refreshing, slightly sweet and citrusy concoction. The gin’s botanicals shine through with juniper and citrus notes, complemented by the dryness of the vermouth. The powdered sugar adds a subtle sweetness, balanced by the tartness of the lemon peel. The carbonated water provides a lively effervescence, while the orange spiral adds a touch of elegance and a hint of citrus aroma.
Chill your glass and ingredients beforehand for a truly refreshing drink. Use high-quality gin and vermouth for best flavor. Gently muddle the powdered sugar with a splash of water to create a simple syrup, avoiding any lumps. When adding the orange spiral, use a citrus peeler to create a beautiful curl for garnish. Finally, use a bar spoon to gently stir the cocktail, keeping the carbonation intact.
