What is Fitzgerald?
The Fitzgerald cocktail is a bright, citrus forward gin drink that feels effortlessly refined. Fresh lemon juice brings a clean, lively acidity while Angostura bitters add subtle spice and depth, balancing the botanicals of the gin without overpowering them. It is crisp, refreshing, and quietly confident, the kind of cocktail that wins people over sip by sip.
Often described as a gin sour with a twist, the Fitzgerald stands out for its simplicity and elegance. It is perfect for those moments when you want something classic but not boring, light but still structured. I believe this cocktail shines best as a pre dinner drink or an easygoing evening sipper when you want flavor without heaviness.
Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.
