Gin Fizz.

I must admit, I'd never heard of this cocktail before my holiday this summer, but now I've had it and realised how simple (but tasty) it is I won't not have it! The ingredients are generally the type of things I'd have around anyway, so why not make a cocktail out of it? Life's too short.

Happy Hour - You can't refuse!

Ingredients: Enough for one

• Crushed ice
• 2 measures gin
• 3-4 measures soda water
• 1/2 tsp caster sugar
• dash of lemon juice

1. Put the ice in the cocktail shaker, and pour over the rest of the ingredients, including the sugar.
2. Shake it like maracas. 
3. Pour into tall glasses and decorate with a slice of lemon or lime.
4. Enjoy!

This is a rather bitter cocktail - add more sugar if it's too bitter for you.
