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.
