A gin fizz is the best-known cocktail in the fizz family. A gin fizz contains gin, lemon juice, and sugar, which are shaken with ice, poured into a tumbler and topped with carbonated water. The drink is similar to a Tom Collins, with a possible distinction being a Tom Collins historically used "Old Tom Gin" (a slightly sweeter precursor to London Dry Gin), whereas the kind of gin historically used in a gin fizz is unknown.
Simple variations on the gin fizz are
Silver fizz – addition of egg white
Golden fizz – addition of egg yolk
Royal fizz – addition of whole egg
Diamond fizz – sparkling wine instead of carbonated water, more commonly known as a "French 75".
Green fizz – addition of a dash of green crème de menthe
Base gin is BEEFEATER.
