The method.
Prepare an empty chilled glass

Measure the creamy foundation
Measure one serving of gin, both citrus juices, syrup, cream, pasteurized egg white, orange blossom water, and vanilla drops into the shaker. Keep all soda water aside.
Shake with confidence
Measure the still ingredients first. Add the recipe’s mixing ice, seal the shaker, and hold both parts firmly. Shake for the stated time. Keep bubbles and garnish outside the shaker.
Shake thoroughly with ice
Add 180 g cubed ice, seal the shaker, and shake firmly for two minutes, taking short pauses to keep a secure grip. Use fresh mixing ice for each serving.

Keep the bubbles lively
Measure sparkling ingredients separately. Add them at the point stated in the recipe, then lift or stir gently if directed. Never shake carbonated ingredients in a sealed shaker.
