2 oz. Gin, 1/2 oz. Lemon juice, 1/2 oz. Like juice, 1/2 oz. Simple syrup, 3 dashes of Orange bitters, 1 oz. Cream, 1 egg white, 2 oz. Soda water. Lime peel. Shake all the ingredients expect the soda water, for while a minute. Then add ice and shake again until chilled. Strain into a glass and add the soda water and garnish with a lime peel. Didn’t worry about dropping the peel in, it will just sit on the now semi-solid top.
I made this for my wife and one for me. She loved it, but it wasn’t for me, to much lemon and lime. The cream, egg white, and soda water made the top half of the drink semi-solid and was fun to drink. Definitely a cool drink to make and try.
If you shake the ingredients with the ice first and then without your foam becomes way nicer.
Thanks for the tip. I’ll give that a try next time. My wife liked using a spoon to eat the thick foam, but I’d prefer it to be a bit more drinkable myself.
If you do a reverse dry shake. You get all foam.
