Equipment
- 1 Shaker
- 1 Jigger
- 1 Rocks glass
Ingredients
- 2 ounces Gin
- 1 ounce Heavy cream
- 1 ounce Lemon juice
- 1 ounce Lime juice
- ½ ounce Simple syrup
- 1 Egg white optional for extra froth
- 2 Dashes of orange flower water
- Club soda to top
- Ice
Instructions
- In a shaker, combine the gin, heavy cream, lemon juice, lime juice, simple syrup, egg white (if using), and orange flower water.
- First, shake the mixture without ice for about 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white and create a frothy texture.
- Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for another 1-2 minutes. The longer you shake, the frothier the drink will be.
- Fine strain the mixture into a chilled highball glass or a fizz glass (it should be without ice).
- Slowly add club soda to fill the glass. The drink should have a foamy top.
- You can garnish with a twist of lemon peel (optional)
Notes
Using egg white is optional, but it adds an incredible texture and frothiness to the drink. If you’re concerned about using raw egg, look for pasteurized egg whites.
This ingredient adds a distinctive floral note. Use it sparingly, as it can be quite potent.
The shaking process is key to achieving the proper texture. Don't rush it; the longer you shake, the better the result!
