The Ramos Gin Fizz was created in New Orleans in 1888 by Henry C. Ramos. At the time, bars in the city were aiming to offer not just drinks, but experiences and shows. Ramos designed this cocktail to create a frothy texture with egg whites and cream in an unorthodox way.

Serving the cocktail was not technically easy. The shaker would need to be shaken for hours; some bars would have more than one bartender lined up to serve the drink, taking turns to shake it. The cocktail is therefore referred to as an "arm workout cocktail" and could only be made perfectly by patient and attentive bartenders.
