The Story Behind the Ramos Gin Fizz
The Ramos Gin Fizz, a classic cocktail, was invented in 1888 by Henry C. Ramos at his bar, the Imperial Cabinet Saloon in New Orleans. Known for its frothy texture and refreshing taste, it became a popular choice during the early 20th century, especially as a morning pick-me-up. Its unique combination of gin, citrus, cream, and egg white creates a luxurious experience that has stood the test of time.
