- 1 1/2 tbs (30ml) double cream

- 3 tsp (15ml) raspberry syrup

1.Add the gin, cream, lime juice, egg white and raspberry syrup to a shaker filled three-quarters of the way with crushed ice. Shake “with extreme prejudice” (meaning vigorously, and for a long time until very frothy) and pour, unstrained, into a tall glass with some room at the top. Add the orange blossom water, then soda water, and stir. Garnish with an edible flower.
Recipe Notes
The original recipe suggests bougainvillea, however it’s best to use something you can fully verify the origins of, such as a pesticide-free orchid, available at specialty stores.
