Head to head
Gin Fizz and Gunshop Fizz side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference, by the numbers
Both have lemon juice and simple syrup. Only the Gin Fizz has gin and soda water; only the Gunshop Fizz has Peychaud’s bitters, strawberries, cucumber, citrus peel and Sanbitter. In parts, a Gin Fizz is 1½ gin, 1 lemon, ¼ syrup and 1 soda; a Gunshop Fizz is 2 Peychaud’s bitters, 1 lemon, 1 syrup and 2 Sanbitter. By volume, the Gin Fizz is 39% spirit, 26% mixer and juice, 26% citrus and 9% syrup and sugar; the Gunshop Fizz is 33% mixer and juice, 33% spirit, 17% syrup and sugar and 17% citrus. That makes them close cousins on the ratio map.
