All That Fizz

By Leslie Blythe

A popular drink in the 1970s, All That Fizz is a gin lovers Whiskey Sour. Light and refreshing, this easy to make cocktail is unusual in that it is dry shaken first and then shaken with ice. A top off of club soda puts the "fizz" in All That Fizz. While this drink's base alcohol is gin, a smoky coating of Scotch on the inside of the glass along with a frothy egg white are welcome flavors reminiscent of a Whiskey Sour.

NEVER “dispose” of a single malt Scotch! Toss it into another glass, top it off, and down the hatch!!

I believe the scotch used was Laphroaig–very smoky, indeed.
