Excited to welcome back Meghan from Cake ‘n Knife with a cocktail recipe today!
Hi there! I am so excited to be back at Feast + West today! You may remember me from my Denver travel guide (my oh-so amazing hometown). I am all about creating uncomplicated gourmet recipes that are intended to be straightforward and simple, but will wow the pants off anyone you serve them to.
I am even more excited to be back at Feast + West because this time I am bringing you a present for the happiest of hours… Cocktail Hour!
Since the month of April is all about gin here, I had to go with a classic cocktail that I dolled up just in time for spring. I love a good Ramos gin fizz once warmer weather rolls around. It’s light and refreshing, like a classic gin fizz, but a Ramos gin fizz features the frothy topping that comes from a good strong shaking of the cocktail. One of my favorite things to do is watch the foam slowly rise up on my cocktail, just begging me to take the first sip.
Gin happens to be my liquor of choice, so of course this blackberry Ramos gin fizz is my new obsession. It has everything I love — gin, blackberry, cream, and a history that started way back in 1888 in New Orleans. I’ll tell you now, if you need to know anything about me, know that I am a sucker for a classic cocktail.
When you sip on this, you’ll be transported to a porch in Louisiana, rocking away the long, hot afternoons in a lazy rocking chair. Cheers!
