Review
Everyone has heard of this clean, refreshing cocktail, but few have experienced the real thing. The Gin Fizz is differentiated from a Gin Collins (properly called a John Collins) by the small (10oz max) highball glass it's served in. (Collins' are served in larger 12oz Collins glasses.) Importantly, a fizz is also served without ice in the glass.
