The Royal Fizz belongs to the Fizz family, a group of cocktails characterized by their effervescence and use of a spirit, citrus, and a fizz element. This particular variation likely originated in the early 20th century, combining the popular gin fizz with the novelty of Coca-Cola, a rising beverage at the time.
The Royal Fizz is a surprisingly harmonious blend of sweet and tart. The gin’s botanicals shine through, softened by the sweet and sour mix. The egg adds a creamy richness, rounding out the flavors. Coca-Cola provides a touch of fizz and a hint of caramel, balancing the overall sweetness. It’s a refreshing, slightly decadent cocktail that’s perfect for any occasion.
The Royal Fizz is a classic, but requires finesse. Use a good quality gin, and ensure the sweet and sour is well balanced. When adding the egg, shake vigorously with ice to emulsify it properly. Top with Coca-Cola, but don’t overpour! This drink is best enjoyed fresh, so don’t make it too far ahead of time.
