Bayard Fizz
The Bayard Fizz is a refreshing cocktail that is perfect for those hot summer days. It is a twist on the classic gin fizz, but with an added burst of flavor from fresh grapefruit juice. The cocktail is named after the historic Bayard Hotel in New Orleans, where it was first created.
To make a Bayard Fizz, start by filling a cocktail shaker with ice. Add a shot of gin, a shot of grapefruit juice, and a teaspoon of simple syrup. Shake the ingredients vigorously for about 15 seconds to mix them together and chill the drink.
Next, strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice. Top it off with club soda and garnish with a slice of grapefruit. The Bayard Fizz is best enjoyed on a sunny patio or by the pool, as the refreshing citrus flavors will keep you cool and hydrated.
So, the next time you are looking for a cocktail to cool off with, give the Bayard Fizz a try. Its combination of gin, grapefruit juice, and club soda will transport you to the lively streets of New Orleans and leave you craving more.
