Review:

For those who prefer their Gin Fizz mellowed and fluffed by the addition of egg white.

It's possible to make a fizz with a visually appealing head raised far above the glass rim, but the extra soda poured to achieve this thick head creates an overly diluted cocktail that's only accessible after gulping through all that foam.

Had an Autumn themed party and started the evening with a Damson Gin variation of this offering a lovely pink clolour. Dialled back the amount of damson gin slightly (50 ml rather than 60 ml) and used shop bought soda water. Found out that the addition of the soda really increases the foamy top. Be prepared for that.
