Ingredients

  • 2 oz Old Tom gin
  • 0.50 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 0.50 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 0.75 oz rich sugar syrup (2 parts sugar to 1 part water, 65.0degBrix)
  • 0.25 tsp orange blossom water
  • 3 drops vanilla extract (optional)
  • 0.75 oz pasteurized egg white (or aquafaba)
  • 0.75 oz single cream / half-and-half
  • Club soda

Instructions

  1. Shake the first 8 ingredients with ice, then strain back into the shaker.
  2. Dry shake (without ice) and slowly pour 2/3rds of the contents of the shaker from a higher than normal height into a chilled empty glass (no ice in glass) while simultaneously pouring soda with your other hand.
  3. Let the cocktail and soda form a single stream of liquid falling into the glass.
  4. Allow the cocktail to settle for at least a minute before topping off with the remaining contents in the shaker.
  5. Ideally, place the glass in a glass froster/fridge/freezer during the settling period.
  6. As the final contents of the shaker are poured into the glass, the head should rise like a souffle.
