I feel like coffee with Jameson and Bailys is the true breakfast messiah.

Just finished making it, Thought my meringue was a little light but as soon as the soda water hit the glass I got the most beautiful foam on top. Enjoying it now, props for the recipe will make again.

[@seansmith6929]

One if my favorite cocktails ever! Perfect counterpoint to eggs Benedict or crabcakes Benedict. The light, fluffy, citrus against the smooth, savory creaminess of the Hollandaise sauce. Super duper! Two of these during brunch along with coffee and you are ready to ease through the day in a delightful warm haze

[@TargetZeroOne]

I tried doing this in a blender to make a large batch, but the violence of the blender led to my favorite mistake ever. I pulsed the blender too long and got butter from the cream. I remade the cocktail in a batch, shaking each at the end for the foam, and we kept the butter and spread it on homemade orange scones the next day. It was by far the best mistake I'd ever made.

[@concon4114]

Love these videos man. I always love making drinks for friends and family whenever they come over and the videos always help

[@shawnagaytan2651]

My absolute favorite cocktail.

[@jerseyboy8017]

Excellent instruction. My first (two ) Ramos Fizzes were circa 1987 at Sunday brunch Windows of The World in Twin Towers. I agree this is perfect brunch cocktail. It took another 15 years w advent of internet to find this recipe. On the rare occasion I’ve asked about one in a restaurant I’ve been met with blank stares or disdain. Fair enough, it’s a make it at home yourself kind of drink.

[@unorthodoxromance254]

I mean that’s amazing how you got the foam head so straight. That’s serious artistry.

[@RainbowFishSaysHello]

This was extremely entertaining! You have such a calm and relaxing voice, it made the occasional jokes super funny.

[@grapetonenatches186]

I finally decided to make this today. After researching many videos i have found your method to be quite concise and effective. With your advice, combined with that of a few others, I was able to achieve well over an inch of meringue above the rim on the first attempt. The flavor is fantastic, a sort of lemon lime julius. I did take time to shake for 12 minutes (13 adding the dry). I was somewhat trepidatious until the pour... when velvety clumps of meringue began plopping into the highball. The effort was well worth the reward. A beautiful treat to behold and imbibe. Thank you for the great video.

[@bruceharlick3322]

Awesome video! They were just making these at Wingtip as the cocktail of the week a couple of weeks ago and the guys were getting a workout. I'm going to have to try your technique!

[@joel6027]

Love your work, you're so professional, precise and informative thank you!

[@EmmaViv]

I JUST discovered this cocktail myself the other day when looking for a way to use up a leftover egg. It tasted just like a key lime pie, so seal of approval from me!

[@nickentros]

One of the best cocktails around, great video, impressively quick

[@dukee179]

I love all of your videos so much! You have really inspired me to get more invested in cocktails

[@dyeager152]

I’ve been following your videos and expanding my repertoire and I want to say thank you so much! I made this for Friendsgiving and everyone flipped out

[@angel2of7death]

Ahh, back to the basics. Fantastic tutorial. Well done, Nick. Cheers.

[@gaudetjaja]

Worked PERFECTLY ! Thanks !

[@keemalcan94]

You want Turkish translations? DONE. I am so happy that I finally found a way to support your channel! Şerefe! (Cheers!)

[@MihaiViteazul100]

Absolutely haram.

[@davidjan47]

I loved the Ramos Gin Fizz cocktails that I used to get at the Cadillac Bar in Nuevo Laredo Mexico. I hear it's not what it used to be but oh what memories of what it was!!!

[@robertrico7598]

These are your videos that I love!

[@456123zero]

viejo amo tu canal, y que haya subtítulos en español es lo máximo! te ganaste un sub mi buen hombre

[@Szklana147]

[@DMsubble]

Your writing just gets better and better with each vid! The little bits of humor here and there really make for an enjoyable view. =)

[@ARSZLB]

[@MRjuggalo4life1990]

Great video, gonna try this cocktail out later

[@mib2259]

Tried a few different recipes for the Ramos Gin Fiizz tonight - this one was easily the best.

[@jakekovach1972]

Cocktail, EXCELLENT PRESENTATION! Proper attire presentation when not presenting ones face is important. FANTASTIC EPISODE! Seriously bravo!

[@ideamissing]

this looks ... amazing!

[@OldMold000]

That looks amazing

[@floydsmama]

My mouth has been watering for these, for YEARS! A friend and I went to Cabo in the 90s on a trip I had won and we made fast friends with a wonderful and gay couple from San Francisco. We danced and partied and woke each other up at their doors in the mornings with trays of Ramos Fizzes in our hands, to begin our days! So glad I found this video!! I don't think the hotel used real egg whites though... I think they used a powder, if I remember correctly. Thanks for sharing! I am now a new subscriber and plan to make these over the holidays!!

[@TheLazyHeffalump]

I just adore your channel. These are one of my favorite drinks and the local high end cocktail bar just despises making them. They said how hard they were to make but honestly, after following your tutorial, I made one easily. I'm so glad I found your channel. You are such a good teacher!

[@dbwygant]

love the funny commentary along the way!

[@flipmeg]

Nailed it the first time I tried!!!! Going to impress my friends next time I fix them a drink :) thx for the video

[@xxzzxzxxz]

Nice bro!!

[@maryw5935]

Great video! I love how you did not drink through the straw. took a real drink like a man!

[@adubs6646]

FINALLY found a restaurant with this cool cocktail on the menu!

[@kaelahkaelah]

I need this!

[@nickw22689]

Awesome Nick, can't wait to do this one...now speaking of good breakfast/brunch drinks, the Brandy Alexander is king!

[@tinamccann8968]

You are the magic man of cocktails ...what delicious masterpiece!! :-)

[@jimbultas]

As always, fantastic! What say you take your next cocktail beyond the bounds of Terra and make the ultimate Romulan Ale?

[@maxwell_edison]

I don't really like drinking, but I really like your videos. What does this mean? Well done either way.

[@Zwebbbel]

like the humor in your videos! :) :D

[@stonedbori840]

I feel a spiritual connection to this drink

[@TheDCmatrix]

Oh, dude, this was posted on my birthday!

[@garlicgirl3149]

YUMMO! I new brunch cocktail!

[@saltydog9117]

Awesome.

[@planteater8]

As a New Orleans native I love it, keep up the good work!

[@OneDrinkThreeBars]

That's beautiful foam! I need an army of at least 12 shaker boys though.

[@resbalonso]

You made this complicated cocktail into such a simple thing! At a bar I like they have a mechanical shaking contraption and the guy sets the timer for the RGF at 8 minutes. It's excruciating to watch the countdown when everyone else is already enjoying their G&Ts. I'm sure the results between that method and yours are close if not the same.

[@alansylvia4276]

Thank you, thank you, thank you...the reverse dry shake is the key. Every other method flopped. I have finally created the perfect Ramos gin fizz... only with reverse dry shake.

[@CheeseBae]

Had this for the first time at a place called Peychaud's in New Orleans, which is a cocktail bar in the old home of the guy who invented Peychaud's bitters. Was delicious.

[@Buckers582]

Just made this. Surprisingly nice drink. I didn't have soda so the lemonade made it taste like a snowball

[@TepidSwitch]

Time to start practicing my slow motion pours. Got any tips?

[@umnikos]

Train with water over the sink

[@RainbowFishSaysHello]

You want to train by pouring backwards in time, that way when you go to do slow motion it will feel effortless.

[@dolphinboi-playmonsterranc9668]

Stanislav Schaller Take a video of you pouring and put it in slow motion.

[@josiejoestar6779]

You need to pour with such astounding levels of confidence that time itself will be intimidated into slowing down for you.

[@pincheburro8096]

Thank you,ramos.👿👿👿

[@tweakhead303]

Great video, great drink, but you should really use an Old Tom Gin. I really recommend boths old tom gin for this one.

[@trianglesummer4029]

Thank you uploading the wonderful video 그리고 한글자막을 달아주신 분께도 감사드립니다

[@ChubbsRN]

looks delicious

[@ilznidiotic]

I used to tend bar at Commander's Palace, and in no way did we have time to shake these for long during a busy Sunday brunch shift. The barstaff also hated them. I don't mean as in, "hated making them", but we all thought they were disgusting. We even got together on our own time and tried tweaking the recipe into something we'd be proud to serve. We really couldn't come up with anything with the ingredients we were given. Our supervisor just laughed and said, "well, the Ramos brothers were hardcore coke fiends". It was kind of an old joke that this cocktail was all about the texture, not the flavor. Years later, I finally had one in a bar that I loved, and the secret was to replace the orange flower water (Commander's Palace used an unsweetened local version, hand made from scratch, that would lose its flavor about a day after you opened it) with Cointreau.

[@newbieOo]

Dave Brubeck - take 5. Such a good song

[@officialtoxins]

Me familie allways love when i make these types of cocktail

[@joshuamire2721]

My favorite starter cocktail. Reminds me of an orange creamsicle.

[@pacificcoastpiper3949]

Sounds interesting 🤨

[@jdaniel3559]

Muito bom ! 👌👏 Great

[@dariocardaci1340]

I know it may sound stupid, but can you make a video explaining the technique you use to shake? Or maybe the various techniques and the cons and pros

[@YangaNkonki]

Love it! My first one, followed this recipe - just that I used gum syrup and lemon juice only, since I’m out of lime. Wonderful! Tasted like a lemon meringue in a glass! 10/10, would recommend. My foam head wasn’t as high, but really great for a first attempt. I’ll shake a little longer or more vigorously next time.

[@mrbanana4804]

Cocktail Chemistry I always try to do stuff like you in your videos but my glasses are too thin and I always break them. You got any advice to help me stop breaking my glasses

[@petersilverstein7526]

Can you make the "one of everything" from the office, ep 5 season 11

[@stillwaters7730]

A well-known favorite at Bohemian Grove

[@brianlai8561]

Hey Cocktail Chemist =) I've been a keen follower of your videos and have taken a few of your fancy remake ideas and tried them out at the flair cocktail bar i work at,... I'd be interested in translating and transcribing your Videos into another language/ spread it across the area. Pretty sick of the level cocktaiils are at in Hong Kong and am keen to look to raise the bar. How can i get in touch?

[@ShapedLikeACloud]

Do you HAVE to use an egg white or aquafaba? My bar doesn’t have those ingredients but I rlly want to make this drink for people!

[@DaCake2]

You're a mixology gangster. 👏 Can you achieve this amount of foam without the cream? I've been trying to create a mix between a Tom Collins and Gin Fizz since I love foam. A Ramos Gin Fizz is beautiful, but I'm not in love with the idea of adding the cream for this party cocktail.

[@misst9]

Will it make a difference in what shaker I use? I dont have a boston shaker I have a copper one with a strainer lid on top.

[@awsomebot1]

Gin fizz.... gizz... hehe

[@mrbanana4804]

Arseboth y man

[@adjaphbootys9520]

[@officialtoxins]

ADjap HBootys and the hard shaking😉😂

[@spacesailor2877]

Arseboth how did you get frst comment

[@vmdp8790]

He’s getting thirsty

[@erikbrown8886]

Question about pressure & egg whites - I usually find that I need to bleed/burp my shaker to get the excess pressure that the foam creates... is this something that you've experienced? Keep up the great work! (ps, play with lime leaves and mono, you're welcome)

[@Marauder623]

I made this cocktail just now. It isn't bad, not my favourite cocktail. It tastes good, it's just the cocktail doesn't evolve much past the citrus or slight juniper of the gin. Overall i much prefer cocktails like the penicillin or the french 75, they are my favourite cocktails so far.

[@glesus5491]

you should try making something with aquavit :D

[@MrWylwy]

I've been following your channel for a while and i was wondering how would you make a White Russian to be as classy as all the other cocktails you make.

[@stchaltin]

Do it with barrel aged gin and it's bomb!

[@CocktailChemistry]

It'd be amazing if you could help translate any of my video titles, descriptions, or subtitles! LINK: kzbin.info_cs_panel?tab=2&c=UC-o0CfpOyFJOfyWKtqS1hZQ

[@nachofranc2400]

Cocktail Chemistry i'm gonna be busy with all the spanish translations hahaha

[@TheFowo]

Might translate some videos to polish, I don't think that's a big part of your community though

[@adamhlj]

Do a Tom and Jerry!!

[@trynottoshine]

So I made this and it was good, was legit impressed with myself for getting that foam going. However, after having a few sips of it I decided to amp it up by adding some ginger beer and it was real delicious ! I'm surprised I didn't easily find a recipe out there for it because it seems like it should be done done done. I'm gonna try doing something with your version of the ginger syrup as well and see how it turns out

[@owenhartmann7354]

Take 5!!

[@briza2022]

Was this before the pisco sour? they are made the same except the liquor

[@angel2of7death]

Curious what your preferred version of a Singapore Sling is?

[@Brookesey]

Can you teach us how to make a Malibu sunset.

[@justme197511]

Bad ass...

[@GoldPunks]

Why do you recommend avoiding aquafaba in this particular drink? I've made it with it once, and it was great! now, having said that, my foam was weak compared to what i'm seeing here....so maybe i just answered my own question :)

[@megleslie5338]

Do the "One of Everything" drink from the office please

[@DanielWilliams-]

You should do the cocktail from the Morracan Christmas Party Episode (season 5 episode 11) on The Office

[@evilbob5270]

Can I substitute orange bitters for orange water? Will the bitters have any negative effect on the meringue??

[@shallabim912]

"Watching me flop around" 😉

[@mailliwenots]

How do you make it separate like that. Every time I try, no matter how long I shake it or let it sit for it never seperates.

[@lewisyc0201]

I can't get the meringue to hold and I've tried shaking it for up to 3 minutes after the egg white is added. Any tips? Tastes good though

[@grey4567]

Make a gimlet next!

[@thesherbet]

Loving the videos - really helps with some tricks and tips. Is there any chance for getting tasting notes for some of the cocktails? I know the ingredient lists will usually tell you all you need to know but sometimes the combinations do some funky stuff.
