This drink may be prepared, although it is made essentially the same way as the grand royal fizz, out of almost any kind of liquor - such as gin, whiskey or brandy; add, instead of Seltzer or mineral water, champagne. This drink is intended for a company of from three to six persons.
This is made the same way as other fizzes, only put a small portion of cream in your glass before shaking; then put in the Seltzer; use a glass a little larger.
The juice of half a lemon and half a lime, a little sugar in the bottom of a glass, ⅔ glassful of fine ice,
1 drink of Old Tom gin,
2 dashes of genuine raspberry syrup, a pony of cream.
Shake it up quickly, strain into a fizz glass, add a little Seltzer, and serve.
You may use Holland gin instead of Old Tom.
