Directions
If you are looking for a fresh and dry, very aromatic gin-based cocktail, you have found it. The Fitzgerald cocktail, in its spartan and rough dryness, finds an incredible harmony of taste and aromas that manage to seduce the palate with a unique immediacy.
It’s not a complex cocktail, but just a very simple gin sour without egg whites; however, if you love the resinous and balsamic taste of gin, this drink will not disappoint you. Fitzgerald’s ingredients are also easy to find; all you need is lemon juice, gin, sugar, and a few drops of Angostura.
Alcohol content
It is a deceptive cocktail. Very sharp and flowing, but with a rocky alcohol content of 19.3%.
