Fizz Family
Sparkling sour-derived drinks in which citrus, sugar, spirit, and charged water are combined for immediate effervescent service, often with egg or textural variation.
Origin
By Wehman's 1891 text the fizz is already a recognisable named family with spirit and egg-part variations, implying a mature branch rather than a one-off formula.
