Impressed the hell out of me, and I made a mental note to try it in future drinks involving egg white. (I, too, have long tried to get the balance of froth to water correct in a Ramos Gin Fizz -- I can shake till my fingers freeze to the shaker and I get a nicely frothy drink, but too much ice has melted by that point.)

During the first shake I add a shaker ball I picked up in a health food store. Before I ran across the shaker ball I used to take the spring off a Hawthorne strainer and put it in for the first shake, it works great. Take the spring out and add ice for the second shake to chill the drink down. The ball or spring makes it easier to get a good froth going. I hope this helps Bruce Tomlinson www.WorldWideDrinks.com I also do the shake-twice method. During the first shake I add a shaker ball I picked up in a health food store.

You just give it a vigorous and as-long-as-you-like shake sans ice, with no risk of watering the drink down, then add the ice and shake again. The adding the ice pause allows your poor arms time to rest. The extra work makes the cocktail all the better! I’ve always been able to get a satisfactory foam by using the shake-twice method.
