Gin

This Hawaiian drink can be made wherever fresh coconuts are available  — often in Latin-American markets and tropical regions of the U.S.

Fizzes, which have been popular drinks in the late morning and afternoon, are usually served in highball glasses. They are made from liquor, citrus juices, and sugar, shaken with ice. The mixture is strained into glasses, which are then filled with club soda or other carbonated drink, including champagne. Egg, both yolk and white, is used in some fizzes.

While sensible proportions are important to some and brand names of gin and vermouth essential to others, the real secret to a fine martini is stirring thoroughly but quickly to prevent the ice cubes from diluting the drink. It must also be served very cold and straight up.
