From the Bartender

Dry shaking the ingredients without ice before the main shake will create a slightly silkier texture - a useful technique if you're making a Silver Fizz variant with egg white. For the standard Gin Fizz, shake hard and strain quickly to preserve maximum carbonation from the soda.
