What makes the Midnight Fizz stand out is its contrast of textures and flavors: crisp botanicals from the gin and lime are softened by subtle sweetness and rounded citrus notes from the orange liqueur, while the egg white adds a smooth, luxurious mouthfeel. The dry shake builds a stable foam that gives the drink its signature visual appeal and velvety texture, while the soda water lifts everything into a lively, refreshing fizz. Though light and approachable, the cocktail feels refined and deliberate, making it well suited for late-evening sipping when you want something both invigorating and polished.
