Ramos Gin Fizz

Few drinks provide a smoother landing after a bumpy night than this New Orleans hangover remedy. Be careful not to slip when pouring the orange flower water; too much spoils the drink.

Directions

1. Put a handful of ice cubes in a shaker and add, in order, 1 tablespoon superfine sugar, 3 drops orange flower water, 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 3 tablespoons gin, 1 egg white, 3 tablespoons half-and-half and 2 tablespoons club soda. Shake long and hard, until the cream and egg white are frothy and the sound of the ice is muffled. Strain into a large glass.
