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.

Old Tom Gin
In order to produce a proper Ramos Gin Fizz one must procure Old Tom Gin. Ah, there is the problem, it is almost impossible to find. I have scoured the city and have had no luck finding this old fashioned distilled gin. This is about to change soon though, UK company Hayman is producing a legitimate Old Tom Gin and it has now been released. According to it's official site, this Gin beat out Tanqueray and Beefeater for the Master Award for Premium Distilleries in August.
Like Beefeater 24, I'm waiting for this to hit Astor Place and then it'll be time to test.
