#BlackLiverProject

At the height of its popularity, bars that made the Ramos Gin Fizz hired many shaker boys to shake the cocktail for 5 minutes plus.
#BlackLiverProject #MonsterInAGlass #cocktail #history

#BlackLiverProject #MonsterInAGlass #cocktail #history

Henry Ramos, for which the Ramos Gin Fizz is named, was German, not Spanish or Portuguese

Earliest appearance of a standard Gin Fizz in a recipe book we found in Harry Johnson 1882. First reference to a Gin Fizz in anything was in 1878 in Washington DC's Evening Star
