Midnight Citrus Fizz

This twist on the classic gin fizz incorporates the sweet tang of lime, creating a frothy and refreshing cocktail with a hint of citrus zest. The double shake method ensures a delightful froth, achieved by first blending the ingredients without ice to foam the egg white, and then shaking with ice to chill and dilute the drink. Serve it traditionally without ice in a small Collins or fizz glass, or be daring and serve it over a few cubes. Whether enjoyed with or without ice, remember to savor the froth and drink promptly to relish the full experience.
