Old Tom Gin Update

Just got an email from the US distributor of Hayman's Old Tom Gin and according to him it is very available in the US. If you're in the city then head down to the Warehouse on Broadway and Astor Place.
If you don't and want to find out if it's available in your area, send an email to distributor,Eric Seed of Haus Alpenz LLC, eseed@alpenz.com.
Read on for their Ramos Gin Fizz Recipe.




Henry Ramos, 1888, New Orleans

* 2 measures Hayman’s Old Tom Gin
* 1 measure lemon juice and lime juice
* 1 measure orange flower water
* 1 measure single cream
* A dash of egg white
* Soda water

Shake all (except soda) well over ice. Strain into a thin goblet and top off with chilled soda to taste

- one note, it is advisable to shake ingredients before adding ice and then again with ice.
- Orange flower water is hard to find if your city doesn't have mid-east or Greek/Turkish ethnic grocery stores. It's available online.
