Ingredients




2 ounces gin
3 drops orange flower water
1 egg white
1 teaspoon bar sugar
1/2 ounce lemon juice
1/2 ounce lime juice
2 ounces cream

1 Shake all ingredients except the soda water vigorously for a couple of minutes or more — the longer the better as it will get nice and frothy. Strain into a tall thin glass, or an old-fashioned glass, top with some soda water and stir.

About


This famous New Orleans drink was invented in the 1880s by Henry C. Ramos in his bar at Meyer's Restaurant. The secret of its flavor and texture is orange flower water and egg whites.
