Orange Gin Fizz 👍

Glass of cloudy white liquid with a large ice cube and a cherry

Recipe

  • 3 parts gin
  • 1 part lemon juice
  • 1 part sugar syrup
  • 6 parts sparkling water
  • A few dashes of orange bitters

Mix the first 4 ingredients and strain into a wine glass. Add ice and a cherry, then the orange bitters on top.

I'm just getting back to having time to make a drink some evenings, and this was a delightful use of leftover lemons. I've made gin fizz before, and found it sour and boring, so reducing the lemon and adding the floral and spicy orange bitters seemed like a good approach.

It was a lovely drink, very refreshing and easy to go through. I'm hoping for many more opportunities as my life settles down!
