Ingredients

2 ounces gin, such as Ford’s or Beefeater

½ ounce lemon juice

½ ounce lime juice

1 ounce simple syrup

1 ounce heavy cream

1 medium egg white

1 small drop orange blossom water

Directions

Add heavy cream to a shaker filled with ice, and egg white to a separate shaker without ice. 

Shake both at the same time until the tin with cream is well chilled. Shake the egg white for a little longer then combine the two in the egg white tin (without ice).

Add lemon juice, lime juice, simple syrup, and gin. 

Add a small handful of pellet ice and shake for as long as you can stand (at least three minutes).

Strain it into a cold fizz glass (or a highball glass).

Place in the fridge for a minute or two.

Top with soda water and finish with orange blossom water.
