 Note
from Cheri:
This recipe was given to us by Stephen Willey, owner
of the National Hotel in Jamestown, California. The
hotel is a fabulous place to stay while exploring Tuolumne
County in California's historic Mother Lode country.
It was also our favorite place to eat in the county.
Wine (and especially zinfandel) lovers will especially
appreciate the wide variety of local wines on the hotel's
extensive list.
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.
