What makes the Ace cocktail unusual among gin drinks?

The Ace is distinctive for combining gin with dairy ingredients—heavy cream and milk—alongside grenadine and egg white, resulting in a remarkably low 7.34% ABV for a gin cocktail. This creamy, frothy texture places it closer to a flip or a dessert cocktail than a traditional gin drink.

Does the Ace cocktail contain raw egg?

Yes, the Ace uses raw egg white, which is shaken vigorously to create a silky foam on top of the drink. The egg white contributes no flavor but gives the cocktail a luxurious, frothy texture; pasteurized egg whites can be substituted for those concerned about food safety.

What flavor profile does the Ace cocktail have?

The Ace delivers a mild, creamy sweetness from the grenadine and dairy balanced by the botanical notes of gin. The overall impression is soft and approachable rather than spirit-forward, making it an accessible entry point for drinkers who find straight gin too intense.

Pale pink and notably creamy, the Ace tempers gin with grenadine, heavy cream, milk, and a fresh egg white, all shaken together and strained into a chilled martini glass. The dairy and egg white soften the gin's botanical bite and produce a frothy, almost dessert-like texture, while the grenadine tints the drink and adds a measured sweetness. Its alcohol content is low for a gin cocktail, near 7 percent by volume, which places the emphasis on smoothness rather than strength. The overall impression is closer to a delicate cream cocktail than a conventional gin drink.

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.
