Fleming Fizz Recipes

FLEMING FIZZ

Steps:

• For the ginger-honey syrup:
• Combine ginger and ½ cup water in a blender and blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a liquid measuring cup, pressing on solids to extract juice. Pour ½ cup of the ginger juice into a large resealable jar and stir in honey. (If you'd like to tone down the ginger a bit, add additional ¼ cup honey and ¼ cup water.) Seal jar tightly and shake until honey is completely dissolved (or rinse out blender and blend ginger juice and honey together to mix.) Makes enough for 10 cocktails. Syrup will keep 2 weeks in the refrigerator; shake well before using.
• For the cocktail:
• Combine blended Scotch, lemon juice, and Ginger-Honey Syrup in a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice and shake until well chilled. Add sparkling wine to a flute glass, then strain cocktail into glass. Gently float smoky Scotch on top of drink. Garnish with lemon twist and candied ginger.

MEYER LEMON AND BASIL FIZZ

Steps:

• In a pint glass, muddle the lemon slices with the basil. Add the vodka and stir. Strain into 2 rocks glasses filled with ice, and top with orange soda. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve.

SPANISH LEMON FIZZ

Steps:

• Freeze 6 wine glasses for at least 15 minutes.
• Pour the sparkling wine, vodka and lemon juice into a blender. Add the sorbet and ice cream. Blend until thick and smooth, 15 to 30 seconds. Pour into the chilled glasses.
• Spear some berries on a small skewer or toothpick to garnish the glasses. Serve immediately.
• Alternatively, freeze the mixture for several hours until firm and scoop into the glasses and garnish with berries.

FRUIT FIZZ

Steps:

• Fill the glasses with about 2 scoops of sorbet, each glass having a different flavor.
• Top the glasses up with Prosecco, taking care that the fizz doesn't rise up and bubble over the top. Refill again once the bubbles have subsided, and then grate a little lemon zest over each glass and adorn with a small sprig of mint.

FRUIT FIZZIES

Steps:

• Pour water into a tall glass. Stir in the baking soda. Pour in the grape juice.

ELDERFLOWER GIN FIZZ

Steps:

• Pour the lemon juice, elderflower cordial, gin and elderflower liqueur (if using) into a cocktail shaker. Add a large handful of ice and shake until the outside of the shaker feels icy cold.
• Strain the cocktail into two champagne flutes or coupes, then top up slowly with sparkling wine. Garnish each one with a small sprig of lemon thyme or a mint leaf.

GIN-BERRY FIZZ

Steps:

• Muddle strawberries and sugar in a mixing glass until crushed. Add gin and stir to dissolve sugar. Strain into 2 ice-filled Collins or rocks glasses. Top with seltzer.

SLOE GIN FIZZ COCKTAIL

MIDNIGHT FIZZ

Steps:

• In a shaker, combine the gin, lime juice, simple syrup, orange liqueur and egg white. Cover and shake vigorously for 10 seconds. Add ice to the shaker, cover again and shake vigorously until chilled and well frothed, about 10 to 15 seconds more. Double-strain into a small Collins or fizz glass without ice and top with soda water. Serve immediately.
