[@hiddenpeople7713]

I did it !! Works really well just need to change a little some quantities for the balance. That was great 😀 But... when i wanted To clean my material i took the last drop in the shaker and warm was even better!! So i took a tiny pot, poor all ingrédients (just no more sparkling water on this one), and on small heat beat it until the egg does a nice form. Ouuuh that's was good and the texture so smooth !!! Thanks for you work it s give us great ideas

Made my 1st one (no soda around) today. WOW!

[@unorthodoxromance254]

I could totally go for one of these in the Big Easy, even if I'm more of an IPA, wine, or G&T guy. I'd add a few dashes of Angostura bitters at the end personally, but that's just me.

[@BarTalkCocktails]

Can’t go wrong with bitters.

[@bendakstarkiller1270]

Hey Bruce, I see you have some Polish vodka there. How do you like Luksusowa? It's one of the few old PL vodkas still made out of potatoes.

[@BarTalkCocktails]

Thanks for noticing. However, that bottle of Luksusowa is actually a cherry flavoured vodka - Luksusowa Wisniowa Cherry Liqueur. It's made from real cherries (which is nice to know) and fine grain spirits. I like it because it's not syrupy sweet. It has a very light consistency which surprisingly lingers on as you sip. There's a real balance of spicy ginger mixed with the taste of sweet hard cherry candy. It also has a wine-like quality which I found interesting. I occasionally add a titch to my Manhattans, just to change things up. I've yet to try Luksusowa potato Vodka. I'll be on the lookout. Cheers!

[@bendakstarkiller1270]

@@BarTalkCocktails It's very popular in Poland. As a fun fact, I can tell you, that the name means "luxurious" in Polish. Also- could you do a vid about workhorse spirits you prefer to use? You know, best price-quality ratio whisky, rum, etc.

[@ibnkhaldoun4319]

This one I'm practicing. One tactic I've seen is to pour half of the cocktail out, add your soda water, and pour the rest on top. problem is, when I do that I then get a bunch of foam on top that's hard to sip, meaning I can't drink this without a straw. I plan on being a bartender by this summer and I hope I don't ever have to make 3 of these one after the other.

[@BarTalkCocktails]

Now that you made mention on hoping to never make 3 Ramos Gin Fizz cocktails in a row, you put it out there, and it will surely happen. Ha! Good luck with working bar this summer. It'll change your life... Cheers!

[@cheryl1675]

Bruce, Where do I get or how do I make orange flower/blossom water?

[@BarTalkCocktails]

I've always bought orange blossom water at my nearby grocery store. Making your own is very time-consuming. First, you have to pick the orange blossoms, clean them, crush them with a mortar and pestle and then mix with a little water and let bask in the sunshine for at least two weeks. You could try buying them off of Amazon. Cheers!

[@KPhlowTV]

Hey Masta Bruce... Got one question for ya.. Do u know who is the first bartender who flair? Whats the history behind it and who invented it? I cant get anything outta internet regarding flairing bartender... Pls Advice.. Thank You Unc... Much Luv always.. 🤗

[@BarTalkCocktails]

I would have to say the original flair bartender was "the father of American mixology", Jerry "The Professor" Thomas. He was well known for his showmanship as a bartender. Sometime before 1862, at the El Dorado gambling saloon in San Francisco, he developed his signature drink, the Blue Blazer. He would toss arcs of flaming whiskey back and forth between silver mugs. He was elaborate with technique and would juggle his bottles and cups. Look him up. Cheers!

[@KPhlowTV]

@@BarTalkCocktails Thank You So Much... RESPECT !!!!!

[@adamliebreich-johnsen6104]

One of my all-time favorite drinks. I rarely order it, though, because I know how annoying it is to the bartender. I may just have to do it myself at home.

[@BarTalkCocktails]

As a bartender I appreciate that. Ha. I’ll have to start working out more if my guests start ordering a lot of these.

[@stephane.foisy.186]

BarTalk&Cocktails simply go to Home Depot and borrow their paint shaker. Not sure if it does 12 minutes though. It might give up too 😂

[@mrpipps90]

Ratios are fine but you wanna use Old Tom Gin for an authentic Ramos and if you want that big beautiful foam: Don't shake with soda. Dry shake and then shake with 2 ice cubes (depends on size, mine are 1in by 1in and two works perfect) until all of the ice is gone. Chill your glass! and then add a splash of soda to the bottom. Open pour that bad boy into the glass all the way to the top and then put the drink in the fridge for 3-5min. Take the drink out and poke a whole in the meringue, add more soda to the remnants of the drink in your tin and then pour through the hole and you will get a perfect cylinder of meringue an inch above the glass if youre careful.

[@BarTalkCocktails]

Your recipe sounds like a marvellous way to make a Ramos Gin Fizz. As Henry Ramos once said, "The secret of success lies in the good care you take and in your patience, and be certain to use good material." There are many ways to make a Ramos Gin Fizz. Old Tom Gin is authentic, but if you can't get it then you use what's available. Even the original recipe calls for 1 Tbsp powdered sugar, yet we often use simple syrup today, which is perfectly fine as it also adds a little more volume to the drink. Also, Henry Ramos used crushed ice, not cubed to shake. I prefer to shake all the ingredients, including the soda water together. It forms a froth with staying power. Also, shaking it up with the seltzer is from Henry Ramos's original recipe. Published in an article featured in New Orleans Item-Tribune, writer Don Higgins interviewed Henry Ramos and got him to hand over his recipe. Here is his recipe, verbatim: Ramos' Original Gin Fizz - One tablespoonful powdered sugar - Three or four drops of orange flower water - One-half lime (juice) - One-half lemon (juice) - One jigger of Old Tom Gin - The white of one egg - One-half glass of crushed ice - About two tablespoonful of rich milk or cream - A little Seltzer water (about an ounce) to make it pungent Together well shaken and strained (drink freely)

[@LazlosPlane]

If you have stomach issues substitute Brioschi for the lemon-lime. And you'll have more fizz.

[@balzonurchin]

I got an idea to throw out there for ya... How about an episode where you test drive a few viewers' concoctions? At the end of your next episode, request that viewers post original recipes in the comments... Or how about a Bruce original? You must have come up with a few in the last 40 years, right?

[@BarTalkCocktails]

Thanks for the suggestion... There’s quite a few Bruce Original cocktails on the channel. The most recent one was the Bee Bomb.

[@BarTalkCocktails]

Thanks for watching and writing in! Cheers

[@balzonurchin]

When you add soda _prior_ to shaking, it's a gin _flat._ Nah, but seriously, I love these. A little more sour though- I prefer 3/4 oz of lime and lemon each, and a beer glass so there's more room for soda water. In my case it'll be all down the hatch before it has a chance to separate. This isn't a cocktail you want to give the chance to warm up. Oh, and I hate dry shaking, so what I do instead is simply give the ingredients a scramble with a fork, and I don't end up with eggy drink all over my hands.

[@tien-x6sbcncjdbe]

I wonder when the citrus was combined with milk, it is ok?

[@dtayl3]

The egg white acts as an emulsifier so it will mix

[@luisgustavoarruda4635]

Why not blend it?

[@BarTalkCocktails]

Blending a Ramos Gin Fizz is a great cocktail hack. You can certainly make a beautiful Ramos Gin Fizz with a very stable head of fluffy, meringue-like foam in a blender. It makes less mess and is the easiest way to make this finicky, fussy cocktail. You just have to be careful with how much ice you use. Try a 1"x1" ice cube and blend it until it's gone. Cheers!

[@luisgustavoarruda4635]

Thank you for the tip!

[@mackdog3270]

I don't know why, but lemon seems made for gin.
