Comments on: DOTW: Ramos Gin Fizz http://marriedwithdinner.com/2007/03/30/dotw-ramos-gin-fizz/ The continuing adventures of a couple of San Francisco food dorks Wed, 15 Feb 2012 05:51:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Anita http://marriedwithdinner.com/2007/03/30/dotw-ramos-gin-fizz/comment-page-1/#comment-61828 Anita Fri, 13 Apr 2007 19:22:31 +0000 http://marriedwithdinner.com/archives/656#comment-61828 Thanks for stopping by. I often include historical details in my Drink of the Week posts... Wouldn't you know it, this was one time I decided to go with a personal anecdote instead of a historical angle! :D Does your family still have ties to New Orleans and/or the cockail world?

Yet the rare Ramos Gin Fizz I've had I've really enjoyed. It's some alchemical process that negates all the off-putting elements of the individual items; when put together they add up to more than the sum of their parts.

But in a really, really good way. Sarah: We took turns shaking ours for the photo... wanted to make sure it had a really good froth, since sometimes it's a while between snapshot and first sip Erik: Clearly we're in synch, cocktail-wise. :) This isn't the first time that's happened. And you're definitely on the ball re: MxMo14. I'm posting the "how to play" announcement tomorrow.

I added <a href="http://marriedwithdinner.com/archives/224" rel="nofollow">a comment on our blog when Anita posted the Gin and Tonic</a> as Drink of the Week. I'd be grateful if you could forward the link to the blog where you found my comment. Unfortunately, I have no secret pipeline to the Schweppes Indian Tonic.

I’m making a Ramos Fizz inspired drink this evening for my MxMoXIV entry!

Bernal Heights must be some vortex of synchronicity.

re: Tonic

I recently read on slashfood that the Fever Tree Indian Tonic Water should be available at BevMo in California. I was unable to locate it on the BevMo website; but, I have yet to check in an actual store (there are often discrepencies in the online inventory.)

We shake it for two minutes--Brian does one, then passes it on to me. I love this drink–great creamy texture and so aromatic from the orange flower water.

Was it a post on eGullet or Mouthfulsfood from one of our trips to London?I have a few bottles of the new <a target="_blank" title="Stirrings site" href="http://www.stirrings.com/sodastonic.php" rel="nofollow">Stirrings 'boutique' tonic</a> the bar fridge (which I *did* pay an arm and a leg to have shipped here... although they're supposed to be introducing it locally soon) but it's been so chilly I haven't felt compelled to test it out. Once spring is really here, we'll be trying it and writing about it. Maybe Cam remembers more? Hi, Wade: I don’t have any memory of Cameron (or me) having posted about Indian Tonic on the blog.

I've about come to my wit's end trying to find it here in the city and, short of ordering it from a British foods shop in Illinois, I'm hoping you can point me to a source here in San Francisco. When I inquired at BevMo, they were dumbfounded and had never heard of it, and I've even tried the Schweppe's website with no luck. Can you help?
