You just can’t go wrong with this classic gin fizz cocktail recipe. It’s uncomplicated, fresh, light and is a hit all year round. When we buy club soda, we look for the “sodium-free” bottle. This is just our preference.
Created By: Joanne and Adam Gallagher
Serves: 1
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons (2 oz) gin
- 1 tablespoon (1/2 oz) lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon powdered sugar
- 3-4 oz club soda
- lemon slice
Method
- Shake gin, lemon juice and powdered sugar in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Strain into a glass filled with ice. Add club soda, and then garnish with lemon slice.
Notes
For an alcohol-free version, leave out the gin and add more club soda. The slightly sweetened lemon juice mixed with club soda is very refreshing.

That’s actually called a Tom Collins. Technically speaking, for that to be a Gin Fizz you’d omit the ice and garnish, and serve it in a fizz glass, which is essentially a shorter looking Collins glass.
Cheers!
