Quick recipe

Ingredients

  • London Dry Gin
    50 ml
  • Lemon Juice
    15 ml
  • Lime Juice
    15 ml
  • Simple syrup (1:1)
    30 ml

  • Egg White
    30 ml
  • Orange Flower Water
    4 dashes
  • Vanilla Extract
    2 drops
  • Soda Water
    to top

Method

  1. Measure all ingredients precisely and chill your Collins glass. Use fresh citrus juice and high-quality gin for best results.
  2. Perform a dry shake: Add gin, lemon juice, lime juice, simple syrup, cream, egg white, orange flower water, and vanilla (if using) to the shaker without ice. Seal and shake vigorously for 60 seconds to emulsify the egg white and cream.
  3. Add a generous handful of ice to the shaker and shake hard for 1-2 minutes. The longer you shake, the silkier and more voluminous the foam will become.
  4. Fine strain the mixture into the chilled Collins glass. Let the drink settle for 30-60 seconds to allow the foam to rise and stabilize.
  5. Slowly pour chilled soda water down the side of the glass to lift the foam above the rim. Pour gently to avoid breaking the foam, creating the signature towering head.
  6. Serve immediately without garnish or straw - the foam mustache is part of the traditional experience.

Cocktail Difficulty Levels

We’ve added a difficulty rating to every cocktail so you’ll know what to expect before you start mixing. It’s not about being “hard” or “easy” in the strict sense—it’s about how much preparation, skill, and hunting for ingredients you’ll need.

  • Beginner – Quick builds or simple shakes with common ingredients you’ll likely already have at home. Perfect for beginners or a casual evening.

  • Intermediate – A bit more technique (stirring, shaking, muddling, layering) and a few extra ingredients. You might need to buy one or two bottles or garnishes you don’t already stock.

  • Advanced – Multiple steps, specialty techniques (infusions, syrups, foams), or rare ingredients. These drinks take more effort and planning, but reward you with something truly impressive.

The rating is based on things like the number of ingredients, how rare they are, and the skills needed to bring the cocktail together.
