CHAT
This is a very slight twist on the legendary Ramos Gin Fizz, the main difference is dropping the Orange Blossom water (because I think it’s disgusting) and replacing it with Curacao, specifically Blue Curacao as the end drink has a blue hue that isn’t dissimilar to the Blue used in Twenty’s branding. The other major difference is that we don’t suggest you shake this drink for 11-12 minutes as called for in the original Ramos Gin Fizz recipe, though feel free to try.
TWIST/HACK
Unless you happen to own a paint mixing machine, there isn’t much you can do in terms of lightening the load when it come to putting together this Cocktail, the only consolation I can offer is that when this drink is made right, you’ll appreciate the effort!
