Drinky Drinks: Gin Fizz and Gin Daisy Fizz

I'm getting ready to go on a trip home to Buffalo this weekend, and I've been cooking up a storm, and enjoying some adult beverages.

Gin Fizz:
1 oz lemon juice (abt 1 lemon)
2 oz gin (I have New Amsterdam in the house because it's a good mixing gin, and affordable)
1 tsp simple syrup
seltzer

make it in a highball glass (tall glass)
pour the first three ingredients over ice, then top off the glass with seltzer

to make it a daisy fizz, add 1/2 oz grenadine
