Method

How to make Imperial Fizz

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Chill the highball thoroughly, confirm that no garnish is required, and ready the shaker.

  2. 02

    Measure whiskey, white rum, lemon juice, simple syrup, soda water accurately and add them to a clean cocktail shaker.

  3. 03

    Fill the shaker about three-quarters full with solid ice cubes and seal it firmly.

  4. 04

    Chill a highball glass. Add the whiskey, white rum, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup to a shaker with solid ice, shake firmly for 10–15 seconds, strain into the glass over exactly two clear ice cubes, top slowly with cold club soda, stir once gently, and serve without garnish.

  5. 05

    Fine-strain into the chilled highball so no small ice fragments reach the drink.
