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 (2:1 sugar to water, 65.0 Brix)
  • 1/8 tsp orange blossom water
  • 3 drops vanilla extract (optional)
  • 0.75 oz pasteurized egg white or aquafaba
  • 0.75 oz single cream or half-and-half
  • Club soda

Instructions

  1. In a shaker, combine gin, lemon juice, lime juice, sugar syrup, orange blossom water, vanilla extract, egg white, and single cream with ice.
  2. Shake well and strain the mixture back into the shaker.
  3. Dry shake (without ice) the mixture and slowly pour about two-thirds of it from a higher than normal height into a chilled empty glass (no ice in the glass).
  4. Simultaneously pour club soda into the glass as you pour the mixture, allowing them to form a single stream of liquid falling into the glass.
  5. Let the cocktail settle for at least a minute before topping off with the remaining mixture from the shaker.
  6. Ideally, place the glass in a glass froster, fridge, or freezer during the settling period.
  7. As the final contents of the shaker are poured into the glass, the head should rise like a soufflé.
