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 ratio of sugar to 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 or half-and-half
  • Club soda

Instructions

  1. Combine gin, lemon juice, lime juice, sugar syrup, orange blossom water, vanilla extract (if using), egg white, and cream in a shaker with ice.
  2. Shake well and strain the mixture back into the shaker.
  3. Dry shake (without ice) and slowly pour 2/3 of the contents from a higher than normal height into a chilled empty glass (no ice in the glass), while simultaneously pouring club soda with your other hand to form a single stream of liquid.
  4. Let the cocktail settle for at least a minute to achieve a perfect head, ideally in a glass froster, fridge, or freezer.
  5. Top off the glass with the remaining contents from the shaker, allowing the head to rise like a soufflé.
