💡 What's interesting
The Golden Fizz is a precursor to the more modern 'Fizz' family of cocktails, and its use of a whole egg gives it a uniquely rich, velvety mouthfeel without dairy. Culturally, it represents the sophisticated, pre-Prohibition era of American bartending, where egg-based drinks were a common way to add texture and richness.
