Ingredients
- 2 ounces gin
- 1 pasteurized egg white
- 3 drops orange flower water
- 1/2 ounce cream
- 1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
- 1/2 ounce simple syrup
- Ice cubes
- Splash of soda water
- 1 strawberry or a lime wheel

- If hand-shaking, combine gin, egg white, orange flower water, cream, lemon juice, lime juice, and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously for about a minute, then add ice cubes and continue shaking until well mixed and chilled.
- Strain the drink into a chilled cocktail glass. Pour a splash of soda water into the shaker to dislodge any remaining foam and pour it into the top of the fizz.
- If using a blender, combine gin, egg white, orange flower water, cream, lemon juice, lime juice, and simple syrup and blend on high for 30 seconds. Add ice and continue blending until a good foam forms. Pour into a chilled cocktail glass.
- Pour a splash of soda water back into the blender to dislodge any remaining foam and pour it into the top of the fizz.
- Garnish the rim of the glass with a sliced strawberry or lime wheel. Optionally, sprinkle a grating of fresh nutmeg for added flavor.
