Ritz Fizz

The Ritz Fizz was created as the Ritz-Carlton hotel chain's signature cocktail in 1934 upon the repealing of prohibition in the United States. It was first concocted in the bar at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts.

Versions

Ritz Fizz (Boston Ritz Fizz)

In a Champagne Flute glass mix:

1/2 oz. (12.5 mL) Disaronno Amaretto
1/2 oz. (12.5 mL) De Kuyper Blue Curacao
1/2 oz. (12.5 mL) fresh lemon or lime Juice
Top off with Champagne.
Stir together.
Garnish with a rose petal.

Variants

Some recipes use Sour mix or Sweet & Sour mix instead of the lime or lemon juice.

Le Ritz Fizz (Canadian Ritz Fizz)

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Montreal makes their version with 1/2 oz. (12.5 mL) of apple liqueur instead of the Amaretto and Blue Curaçao and garnishes it with a sugar cube dipped in raspberry liqueur. This is probably due to copyright infringement since the Montreal Ritz-Carlton is privately owned and has not been part of the Ritz-Carlton group since the 1970s, which was when the hotelier pulled out of Montreal due to the city's economic decline.

gollark: Did you see length terminated strings?

gollark: I have large quantities of examples of bad code written really fast.

gollark: I tend to do this stuff by just throwing together a prototype and then "improving" it, because my skills lie more in the area of "writing somewhat bad code really fast" than "documentation and thinking about stuff in advance".
