LUNAR Gin Fizz

To commemorate the birthday of Neil Armstrong and the first human moon landing, Kevin created a Lunar version of the classic Gin Fizz — a cocktail as bright and smooth as moonlight itself.

A Gin Fizz is essentially a Tom Collins made with egg white and served without ice, but for this version, Kevin added violet liqueur and homemade lavender bitters, creating a beautiful, aromatic cocktail he named the Lunar Fizz.

For the base spirit, he used Hendrick’s Lunar Gin — a distinctly floral gin with a delicate spicy finish, conceived under the influence of the celestial light of the moon. It’s the perfect gin for a cocktail that celebrates Neil Armstrong and the spirit of exploration.

Lunar Fizz:

· 45 ml (1 ½ oz) Hendrick’s Lunar gin

· 15 ml (1/2 oz) Violet liqueur

· 22,5 ml (3/4 oz) egg white

· 22,5 ml (3/4 oz) lemon juice

· 10 ml (1/3 oz) simple syrup 1:1

· 2 dashes Lavender bitters

· top up soda

Shake all ingredients except soda vigorously with ice, discard the ice, and shake again. Fine strain into a chilled highball glass and top with soda water. Wait a moment for the foam to rise, then slowly add more soda until the cocktail gently peaks over the rim — like a rocket reaching for the sky. Spray with lemon zest and discard the peel.

This cocktail doesn’t need a garnish — it’s a self-contained work of art. Delicate, creamy, and floral, the Lunar Fizz captures the wonder of looking up at the night sky and daring to take the first step.
