The Japanese Fizz belongs to the Sour family, a classic cocktail style featuring a base spirit, citrus juice, and a sweetener. Though its exact origins are unclear, its name suggests a Japanese influence, likely a variation on the classic Whiskey Sour, popularized in Japan during the 19th century.
The Japanese Fizz is a delightful blend of sweet and tart. The blended whiskey provides a smooth, mellow base, while the lemon adds bright acidity. Powdered sugar contributes a touch of sweetness, balanced by the dry, fruity notes of port. The egg white adds a creamy texture and subtle richness, while the carbonated water creates a light and bubbly finish. Overall, it’s a refreshing and sophisticated cocktail with a unique depth of flavor.
This drink is all about the silky texture. When shaking, use a dry shake (without ice) to froth the egg white first, then add ice for a proper chill. Don’t over shake, it can get foamy. Use a fine mesh strainer to ensure a clean, smooth texture. A touch of bitters can add a nice depth of flavor.
