I was watching this video on how to make a Violet Fizz, and being neither able nor particularly inclined to include cream in mine, I thought 'what if I replaced the simple syrup with maraschino and just made an Aviation but as a fizz?'
So:
1 1/2 parts dry gin
3/4 part lemon juice
3/4 part maraschino
1 egg white
Creme de violette to taste (and depending on brand...I needed to put quite a lot in )
Dry shake to combine, then shake with ice, strain into a highball glass (without ice) and either top with soda or add the soda first, an intriguing suggestion I got from the linked video...obviously that means you've got to be very good at judging how much to put in.
I'd show you a picture, but I drank it already. Suffice to say that it pours an even, opaque white colour with a silky texture, and looks beautiful. I think this is a great drink, about halfway between a gin fizz and a Ramos fizz, so try it for yourself and see what you think!
