Ruby Fizz Cocktail with Sloe Gin and Raspberry
Stunning raspberry sloe gin cocktail made with rich sloe gin, a dash of raspberry syrup, freshly squeezed and sieved lemon juice, and just the right touch of sparkle from soda water. The star of the show? A silky egg white, shaken to perfection for that gorgeous pink foam layer. This refreshing sloe gin fizz with egg white is not just a treat for the taste buds—it’s pure eye candy in a glass.
Curious how to get that perfect foam and deep ruby red color? Let me walk you through it…

You already know how much I adore sloe gin. Have you seen my Raspberry Gin and Tonic or my spooky favorite, the Sloe Screw Halloween Cocktail? Both are bursting with berry goodness and perfect for gin lovers. But this sloe gin summer cocktail is in a league of its own—light, bright, and perfect for sipping on the patio with good company and sunshine overhead.
You’ll find this beauty tucked into my growing cocktail collection—take a peek if you’re planning a garden gathering, Friday night wind-down, or a cheerful summer celebration. I love serving Ruby Fizz with something just as playful and pretty, like my Pink Cookies or a chilled slice of No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake. It’s a match made in pink heaven!
And here’s a little kitchen tip I swear by: save your leftover egg yolks! Pop them in a labeled freezer container. Once you’ve collected a few, you can whip up a buttery bundt cake or a batch of fluffy muffins. Less waste, more joy. Now grab your shaker and your prettiest glasses—because we’re about to mix up a drink that’s as charming to look at as it is to sip.
🥘 Ingredients
- Sloe gin – A fruity gin liqueur that gives this cocktail its deep ruby hue and signature flavor.
- Raspberry syrup – Adds sweetness and enhances the berry notes. Homemade (cooked or even without cooking) or store-bought both work beautifully.
- Fresh lemon juice – Use freshly squeezed and sieve it to keep the drink smooth. Not sure how much juice is in a lemon? I’ve got you covered in my lemon juice guide.
- Egg white – For that gorgeous pink foam on top. You’ll only need the white—save the yolk to freeze for future baking (hello, egg yolk bundt cake or chocolate flake muffins {coming soon}!).
- Sparkling water – Use chilled soda water from a bottle, siphon, or soda streamer. Add it at the end for a fizzy lift.
- Cubed ice – For shaking the cocktail. Crushed ice can work in a pinch, but cubed gives better control over dilution.
- Optional garnish – A raspberry, lemon twist, or edible flower adds a delightful touch if you’re feeling fancy.

🔪 Instructions
Step 1
Pour the sloe gin, raspberry syrup, sieved lemon juice, and egg white directly into your cocktail shaker. Go ahead and add cubed ice right away—we’re skipping the dry shake here!
Step 2
Now shake it like you mean it! You want the outside of the shaker to get super cold—this chills the drink and whips that egg white into a beautiful pink foam.
Step 3
Fine-strain the cocktail into two glasses. This keeps the texture silky smooth and helps the foam layer sit pretty on top.
Step 4
Top with sparkling water and take a moment to admire the deep ruby color and that dreamy pink crown of foam.
Step 5 (optional)
Add a raspberry, a lemon twist, or an edible flower to each glass for a little extra summer charm!

💭 Top tips
🥚 Egg White Shaking Tip
Shaking a cocktail with egg white can build pressure in your shaker—especially when you add ice. The mixture expands as it emulsifies, which can make the shaker hard to hold or feel like it’s trying to pop open.
Don’t worry—it’s totally normal!
Just make sure the shaker is tightly sealed and hold it firmly with both hands (one on the top, one on the bottom). I like to wrap mine in a tea towel for better grip and comfort. Shake with confidence—you’re on your way to that dreamy foam layer!
💦 Soda Water Tips
No matter how you top your cocktail, make sure your soda water is cold and freshly opened for the best fizz.
- Using a soda streamer (like a SodaStream)?
Go easy! Stream the water separately, then gently pour it into your finished drink. Don’t carbonate the whole cocktail—it won’t end well (hello, explosion 😅). - Using a soda siphon?
Perfect for cocktails! It gives you control over the pour and adds a steady stream of bubbles. Just be sure the siphon is freshly charged and well chilled. - Using bottled soda water?
Totally fine! Look for unflavored and cold. Once opened, use it quickly before the bubbles fade.
No matter which method you use, always pour slowly along the inside of the glass to protect that gorgeous foam top!
