Gin Fizz

About this recipe
Gin Fizz Thermomix TM7 recipes bring the atmosphere of a professional cocktail bar straight into your kitchen with minimal effort. This iconic sparkling drink pairs crisp gin with freshly squeezed lemon juice, homemade sugar syrup and a generous splash of soda water, finished over ice for that signature effervescent tingle. Preparing it with the all-in-one kitchen machine changes everything: the built-in scale weighs your gin and syrup directly into the mixing bowl, so the balance between tart and sweet is spot on every single time. Instead of buying bottled mixers full of additives, you dissolve sugar with gentle heating and blend the cocktail with ice cubes until refreshingly chilled. Whether you are planning festive drinks for guests, a summer garden party or a quiet aperitif on a Friday evening, this quick cocktail recipe delivers bar-quality results at a fraction of the cost, all with one device and very little washing up.
Preparation tips
- For the freshest flavour, squeeze your lemon juice just before mixing and roll the lemon firmly on the worktop first; this breaks down the internal membranes and releases significantly more juice for your Gin Fizz.
- Make a larger batch of sugar syrup with the TM7 and store it in a sterilised bottle in the fridge; it keeps for weeks and guarantees a consistently balanced cocktail whenever guests arrive unexpectedly.
- Chill your gin glasses in the freezer beforehand and pour the soda water in last, over the back of a spoon; this preserves the bubbles and gives your Gin Fizz a professional, feathery foam head.
Recipe variations
- Alcohol-free variation: replace the gin with an alcohol-free gin alternative or elderflower cordial and keep the lemon juice, sugar syrup and soda water exactly the same; children and designated drivers get an equally festive fizz.
- Festive seasonal variation: add a few crushed raspberries or a dash of rosemary syrup to the shaker before mixing; garnish the Gin Fizz with a rosemary sprig and a lemon twist for a Christmassy or summer-party twist.
