Chapter 75 Ramos Gin Fizz

"Bill mate, can you put six Fizz Glasses in the freezer please." Michael asked as he got started. 

"No problem" Bill replied as he got busy 

"Ok so six servings and each serving needs the following." Michael started to say out the ingredients and because he was so focused he did not notice Jane had once again started to record him on her phone. 

"Sixty Milliliters or Two Ounce of Gin of choice." 

"Fifteen Milliliters or Half Ounce or Lemon Juice Freshly Squeezed." 

"Fifteen Milliliters or Half Ounce of Lime Juice Freshly Squeezed." 

"Thirty Milliliters or One Ounce of Heavy Cream." 

"1 Dash of Orange Blossom Water." 

"One Fresh Egg." 

"Simple Syrup." 

"Soda Water to Top." 

"One Large Ice Cube between Forty to Forty-five Grams." 

After going through the ingredients Mike grabbed a glass and mixer before he started adding the ingredients into the glass one by one explaining while he did so. 

"First add the gin" 

"Next both the Lemon and Lime Juice." 

"Then the Heavy Cream." 

"Add the Simple Syrup." 

"Now you need the Egg White." 

"Last the Orange Blossom Water." 

"Before putting the One Large Ice Cube in and shake well," 

After which Michael started to shake the drink without stopping for several minutes as everyone except two men, watched and were impressed at Michaels skill and technique. 

While shaking Michael continued to instruct. 

"You have to shake well until the Large Ice Cube has fully melted and then continue shaking for approximately another ninety seconds, this causes the Heavy Cream and Egg Whites to combine." 

After Michael finished shaking the drink he turned to Bill. 

"Bill pass me one of the glasses in the freezer please." 

Bill grabbed a glass out of the freezer and handed it over the Michael before he poured the mixed drink into the glass. 

"Now wait a few minutes so that the liquid and foam separate." Michael said as he washed the mixer out and prepared the ingredients for the next drink. 

"Now take the soda water and poor on top of the foam." Michael advised and as he did so everyone saw the foam lift slightly out of the glass causing them to gasp, before Michael grabbed a straw and put it into the middle of the drink. 

He then placed the drink before Salt Bae and said "Your Ramos Gin Fizz Enjoy" before starting to make the next one up. 

Salt Bae looked at the drink before taking the straw and trying a taste. 

"Delicious Mike I must say this is the best 'Ramos Gin Fizz' I have ever had, and I have traveled the world." Salt Bae complimented. 

"Thank you for the compliment." Michael replied as he shook up the next drink. 

"High praise from Salt Bae Mike, he is not easy to impress with him have restaurants all over the world." Sarah advised. 

"There is something unique about Mike's drink that I can't place, it tastes slightly different to any other 'Ramos Gin Fizz' I have had but that difference makes it much nicer." Salt Bae explained. 

"No surprise there when Mike made us drinks back in Olympus my JD on the Rocks tasted much better than I had ever had before." Gracie explained. 

"Am I the only one who has not had a drink made by Mike yet?" Sarah asked with a pout. 

"Don't worry Sarah this one is yours." Michael said as he continued shaking and Sarah showed him a beautiful smile. 

"You know Mike with skills like your you could be the World Champion Bartender." Salt Bae said surprising everyone. 

"Salt Bae is this 'poor man' really that good?" Mark Philips asked while putting emphasis on the words poor man. 

This caused the four ladies to frown as they looked like Mark before ignoring him, this confused Mark because he said that to point out that Michael was beneath everyone in this restaurant, and they should not waste time with him. 

"Indeed, his is." Salt Bae confirmed. 

Michael ignored Mark's comment as he had no idea who the man was apart from some actor in a film with Michelle Rodriguez. 

"I can't become world champion." Michael answered while still shaking the drink. 

"Oh, if you don't have the confidence Mike you never will." Salt Bae encouraged. 

"It's not about confidence it's about reality, I am already blacklisted on every bar and restaurant because of what happened, do you really think the organizes of The Cocktail World Championships would let me compete?" Michael explained. 

"Oh, right that incident, yeah I did here about that." Salt Bae said and was about to apologies when Mike said something that shocked everyone. 

"Besides why do I need to win it again." 

Everyone looked at Michael in shock trying to understand the words that just left his mouth, it was Jane who recovered first to ask. 

"You have won The Cocktail World Championships before Mike?" 

"Yup, four years ago take a look online." 

At which point Jane and several other people pulled out their phones to do a search, 

"Here we go, The Cocktail World Championships 2020 Winner Michael Vandal is here by stripped of his championship win after the alleged incident of spiking celebrity Michelle Rodriguez." Jane read out. 

"Oh yeah they took my title away after that whole incident, but it does not change the fact that I won." Michael answered as he served out the next Ramos Gin Fizz and pushed it in front of Sarah saying. 

"The world's most difficult drink for one of the world most difficult ladies to capture, Enjoy." 

As he finished speaking Sarah broke out in a huge blush, she actually ducked her head down so she did not have to look at Michael and he would not see her blushing. 

Michael did not mind and simply moved onto making the third Ramos Gin Fizz. 

"Casanova is back again." Gracie teased as the other girls all looked happily at their friend. 

"Well Mike since you made me such an excellent drink, I will make for you my specialty dish the Tomahawk Steak wrapped in gold leaf." Salt Bae proclaimed. 

"Thank you, Salt Bae, let me just finish these drinks and I will be happy to eat your cooking." Michael agreed as he continued making the drinks for the girls and maybe eventually himself.
