The best variations on a classic Gin Fizz

A Gin Fizz is one of those timeless cocktails that never goes out of style. With its refreshing mix of gin, citrus and soda water, it’s the perfect balance of bright and bubbly.

Originating in the 19th century, the classic Gin Fizz has stood the test of time, and for good reason. It’s simple, delicious, and easily customisable. Whether you’re enjoying it on a hot summer day or as an elegant evening cocktail, it’s a go-to drink for any occasion.

The base recipe calls for gin, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup and soda water—shake it all up, and you’re good to go. But if you’re looking to elevate your fizz game, there are plenty of delicious twists to try.

Let’s explore some of the best Gin Fizz variations you can make at home–-you might even be inspired to create your own!

ALL GIN COCKTAILS

Pink Gin Fizz

The Pink Gin Fizz brings a touch of fruity sweetness to your glass, using Beefeater Pink Strawberry for a fun spin on the original.

The vibrant strawberry notes from our strawberry flavoured gin combine with the fresh lemon juice and soda water to create a light, bubbly, and delightfully refreshing sip. It’s the perfect drink for a summer picnic, garden party, or a relaxing evening at home.

For serving, garnish your Pink Gin Fizz with a fresh strawberry or a sprig of mint for a pop of colour and added freshness. This fizz variation is best enjoyed over plenty of ice in a tall glass, making it a go-to for sunny days and laid-back celebrations.

Rhubarb & Cranberry Gin Fizz

For a fizz that blends tart and sweet flavours, the Rhubarb & Cranberry Gin Fizz is an absolute winner. This cocktail uses the distinct flavour of Beefeater Rhubarb & Cranberry, which brings both a tart rhubarb note and the festive warmth of cranberry.

It’s an ideal drink for the winter months, offering a fresh but seasonal vibe that’s great for holiday parties and get-togethers. The combination of rhubarb and cranberry gives the cocktail a slightly tangy taste, making it both refreshing and bold.

You can serve this Gin Fizz variation in a highball glass over ice, garnished with fresh cranberries or a rhubarb ribbon for a touch of elegance.

If you’re looking for something fruity and summery, the Peach & Raspberry Gin Fizz delivers all the sweet and refreshing flavours you could want. Using Beefeater Peach & Raspberry, this cocktail is bursting with the juicy flavours of ripe peaches and fresh raspberries, making it a perfect choice for warm-weather occasions.

The lightness of the peach and the tartness of the raspberry come together beautifully with the gin’s botanicals, creating a harmonious and fruity sip that’s sure to be a hit at any gathering.

This Gin Fizz variation is best served in a tall glass over ice, with fresh peach slices or raspberries as a garnish. It’s a playful and fruity take on the classic Gin Fizz, making it perfect for summer picnics, poolside parties, or any time you’re in the mood for a light and fruity cocktail.
