Golden Whiskey Fizz

Think of the Golden Whiskey Fizz as the lesser-known cousin of the popular Tom Collins. Believed to have been created in the late 1800s at Limmer's Old House in London, the cocktail was reportedly named after the head waiter at the establishment. Despite its unclear origins, the Golden Whiskey Fizz became a distinct version of the classic Tom Collins. Both cocktails are made with lemon juice, club soda, and simple syrup, but what sets them apart is the spirit used. The Golden Whiskey Fizz substitutes gin for whiskey, giving it a distinct golden-yellow hue.
