Shake all ingredients (except carbonated water) with ice and strain into a highball glass over two ice cubes. Fill with carbonated water, stir, and serve.
The Imperial Fizz is a classic Collins-style drink that combines blended whiskey and light rum with lemon juice, powdered sugar, and a top of carbonated water. The dual-spirit base — whiskey providing depth and rum adding a tropical sweetness — makes it more complex than a standard whiskey fizz. It is served in a highball glass over ice.
History & Origins
Fizz cocktails were a staple of 19th-century American bartending, popularized by Jerry Thomas and documented in his 1862 Bar-Tenders Guide. The Imperial Fizz's unusual combination of whiskey and rum may reflect the experimental blending common in pre-Prohibition American bars. Its exact origin is disputed, though it appears in several early 20th-century cocktail compendiums.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Lemon citrus and whiskey grain, with a faint rum sweetness and a powdery sugar note. Palate: Effervescent and refreshing, with the whiskey's grain character and rum's light sweetness balanced by the lemon's tartness and the soda's carbonation. Finish: Dry and citrusy, with a lingering whiskey warmth.
Pro Tip
Add the carbonated water last and stir only once to preserve maximum fizz before serving immediately.
