Refreshing Strong

The Ace is a creamy, blush-colored cocktail that combines the botanical character of gin with the sweetness of grenadine, softened by heavy cream, milk, and a fresh egg white that creates a rich, smooth texture. Served in a martini glass, it presents an elegant, pale pink appearance with a frothy top. At 7.34% ABV, it drinks more like a dessert cocktail than a spirit-forward option.

History & Origins

The Ace is a vintage-style cocktail whose origin is disputed, appearing in various mid-20th century cocktail guides under different variations. Its use of cream, milk, and egg white places it in the tradition of the creamy gin fizz and Ramos Gin Fizz family, which became popular in the early 1900s. The straightforward name suggests a bartender's house specialty rather than a cocktail of documented historical lineage.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Light juniper from the gin, with sweet rose-like notes from the grenadine and a neutral dairy softness. Palate: Silky and smooth, with the gin's botanicals gently pushing through the cream and milk; grenadine adds a subtle fruity sweetness. Finish: Short and creamy, clean and mildly sweet.

Pro Tip

Shake thoroughly with ice to fully incorporate the cream and egg white, creating a dense, uniform froth before straining into a chilled martini glass.
