这款鸡尾酒源于其“祖先”---新奥尔良菲士。新奥尔良菲士在1888年问世后风靡一时，甚至以创造者亨利·C·拉莫斯的名字命名。拉莫斯后来自己开了间酒吧叫“雄鹿酒吧”，在那里，他发明的鸡尾酒名气越来越大，在鸡尾酒史上留下了浓墨重彩的一笔。据说，拉莫斯金菲士非常受欢迎，他至少需要请20名调酒师专门调制这种鸡尾酒。有个小故事，在1915年的狂欢节期间，35名调酒师在酒吧后面互相传递摇瓶调酒。根据斯坦利·亚瑟在《新奥尔良饮品及调制方法》中的说法，酒吧的调酒师“几乎把胳膊都摇掉了，仍然无法满足顾客的需求。”
Derived from its ancestor cocktail, The New Orleans Fizz, this cocktail became so popular after its creation in 1888 that it took on the name of its creator – Henry C. Ramos. Ramos eventually opened up his own bar – The Stag, where his drink’s reputation really grew, putting it’s mark on cocktail history. Legend tells that the Ramos Gin Fizz was so popular that his bar needed at least 20 bartenders working solely on just that cocktail. During Mardi Gras in 1915, a chain of 35 “shaker boys” famously handed shakers to one another behind the bar. According to Stanley Arthur in ‘New Orleans Drinks and How to Mix ‘Em’, the bar staff “nearly shook their arms off, and were still unable to keep up with the demand.”
不幸的是，随着禁酒令的实施，拉莫斯的好日子也到头了。在午夜钟声敲响的时候，他宣布:“我卖掉了最后一杯金酒菲士。”他将这款标志性鸡尾酒的配方埋在了心里，关于他死前是否最终分享了这款鸡尾酒的配方，历史上仍是众说纷纭。
Sadly, with the onset of the prohibition, good things for Ramos eventually came to an end. He announced at the stroke of midnight “I’ve sold my last Gin Fizz!”. He held the recipe for his iconic cocktail close to his chest and history remains divided on whether or not he did eventually share it before he died.
