- 20 ml cherry reduction syrup
- 1 egg white

The story
The gin fizz is one of mixology's most elegant categories. From the Silver Fizz to the Ramos, the template is consistent: gin, citrus, sugar, egg white, soda. The variation is in the gin's character. With Juliet Gin's cherry and lemon profile, the fizz template becomes almost self-selecting — the gin is already leaning in the direction the drink wants to go. This version layers a cherry reduction (simmer fresh or frozen cherries with sugar, lemon juice, and water until thickened) with fresh lemon and a full egg white. It's the kind of drink Audrey Saunders might have workshopped in Pegu Club's prep kitchen — thoughtful, ingredient-led, and more demanding than it looks.
Tasting note
Deep pink at the base fading to white foam. The cherry reduction gives the gin's natural cherry note something to work alongside. A fizz with conviction.
