Making a Classic Gin Fizz All you need is 5 minutes and a few simple ingredients. For this cocktail, you will need: Gin (we go for mid-range gin) Sugar Fresh Lemon Juice (fresh squeezed is best, here) Club Soda To make it, mix the gin, lemon juice, and a little sugar. Add ice and fill to the top of your glass with club soda. Simple! By the way, if you (or anyone you’re making this for) wants to skip the gin, the lemon juice, sugar, and club soda is pretty tasty.
