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)
  • 1/4 tsp orange blossom water
  • 1/8 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 0.75 oz pasteurized egg white (or aquafaba)
  • 0.75 oz single cream
  • Club soda

Instructions

  1. Combine the gin, lemon juice, lime juice, sugar syrup, orange blossom water, vanilla extract (if using), egg white, and single cream in a shaker with ice.
  2. Shake the ingredients well and strain the mixture back into the shaker.
  3. Dry shake (without ice) and slowly pour two-thirds of the contents of the shaker from a higher than normal height into a chilled empty glass (without ice), while simultaneously pouring club soda with your other hand.
  4. Allow the cocktail and soda 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 contents from the shaker.
  6. For a perfect head on the Fluffy Citrus Fizz, 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 souffle.
