Classic Gin Fizz

This delicious drink is as much fun to shake up as it is to drink. It’s a zingy mix of lemon, simple syrup and gin, but the airy egg white gives it some festive fizziness.

Place all ingredients in a cobbler- or Boston-style shaker and dry shake vigorously (shake without ice) to ensure that the egg white is thoroughly incorporated. Add ice, and shake again until chilled. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a Collins (highball) glass and top with soda. Garnish with a lemon wheel.
