I recently discovered a cocktail PodCast from a gentleman named Sasha Pixlee. Sasha calls his Podcast, "Sasha's Den of Iniquity," (which sounds a bit more like a BDSM dungeon than a name of a cocktail show.) I really enjoy Pixlee's style. He seems to have a dry wit, and a no-nonsense attitude, that comes across in his only-slightly vulgar delivery.
His very first episode featured fizzy drinks, which was a perfect topic for summer. Of course, the Gin & Tonic opened up the show, and then he moved on to some introductions of the Hemingway Code Hero, French 75, and something he invented, the Errol Flynn Fizz.
Now, I'm a sucker for cocktails with egg whites in them. There is something very appealing to the textural mouth-feel you can achieve with an egg in a drink. So, I knew this was something I needed to try...

Errol Flynn Fizz:
3/4 oz lime juice
1/2 oz falernum
1/4 oz grenadine
1 egg white
soda water
Dry shake (shake without ice) the rum, lime, falernum, grenadine, and egg white. Add ice and shake again to chill the drink. Strain it into a chilled champagne flute and top with cold soda water. Garnish with lime and whatever other tropical fruits you feel like."
All in all, I would certainly serve this at a backyard summer party, or at a ladies get together.
Or if the ghost of Errol Flynn visited me.
Which he might.
I followed up the EFF with two Mai Tai's.
