The Gin Fizz is drink that dates back to at least the 1800's. It has the same ingredients as the Tom Collins, but is distinguished by the way it is prepared and served. There are a number of variations of this cocktail. The Silver Fizz has the addition of an Egg White, the Gold Fizz has an Egg Yolk, the Royal Fizz has a whole Egg, and the French 75 substitutes the Soda Water for Champagne. This drink is an Official IBA Cocktail.
