Chicago Fizz

Print Recipe
The Chicago Fizz is a classic Fizz based on Dark Rum and Ruby Port to create a fun Fizz style cocktail; it's also a classic. There's not much known about the Chicago Fizz recipe other than it was likely created in Chicago a long time ago. Unfortunately it's a lot less common these days, but that doesn't make it any less wonderful to drink.
The fizz style of cocktail is a fun one due to the layer of foam on top, and this one is quite stunning thanks to the Ruby Port giving it some colour, but in the drink itself and the foam. Take care in making this cocktail so that you get the right look.

Notes

Gin is often the go to spirit for a Fizz style cocktail, so this one is slightly unusual thanks to its use of Dark Rum and Ruby Port. It's great to see a slightly different spin on such a wonderful style of cocktail.
