This old-fashioned cocktail is perfect for brunch or anytime. The original Ramos Gin Fizz was invented in the 1880s by Henry C. Ramos, in his bar at New Orleans' Meyer's Restaurant. It is sometimes also known as a New Orleans Gin Fizz.

Because of the extensive ingredients and the time it takes to make, this drink can be hard to find today. Most upper end cocktail bars will have a version. In addition to the Jamestown Hotel, we like those made at Commander's Palace in Orleans or at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas.

Look for orange flower water at well stocked liquor and bar suppliers or in middle eastern grocery stores.
