Chill your **Collins glass** or **Highball glass**. 2. In a mixing glass or shaker, combine the **gin**, fresh **lime juice**, fresh **lemon juice**, simple syrup, cream, egg white (or alternative), orange flower water, and vanilla extract. Do *not* add ice yet. 3. **Dry shake** (shake without ice) the ingredients vigorously for two minutes. This is crucial to **Emulsified** the egg white and cream and build a strong **Foamy** structure. 4. Add ice to the shaker. 5. **Shake hard** for another minute (some traditional recipes call for even longer!) until the shaker is very cold. 6. **Strain** the mixture carefully into the chilled **Highball glass** without ice. 7. Let the foamy mixture settle for a moment, allowing the foam to rise. 8. Very slowly, **top up** the glass with **soda water**.
