It is most important that the instructions
be followed to the letter and in the proper order!

Step #1 - Selecting the Glass.
Use a large wine glass with approximately a three inch stem. It is important not to use too large a glass as the ice will melt before the drink is finished, making it slurry and slushy, detracting from the frothy, fluffy consistency that it should be. A glass that is too small is inconvenient because it causes long lines waiting for a refill!

Step #2 - Preparing the Glass.
It is most important that the glass be chilled in a cooler at 36 degrees for at least 60 minutes. A light mist may be on the glass, but not frozen water. Moisten the rim of the glass with a lemon wedge and dip in powdered sugar.

Step #3 - The ingredients.
2 teaspoons lemon juice 1 ounce Gin (good brand)
1 teaspoon lime juice 1/2 teaspoon superfine sugar
1 egg white 1/2 teaspoon orange flower water
2 tablespoons heavy cream 4 to 6 ice cubes

Step #4 - Blending.
Pour all of the above into a blender in the order given. Blend at a medium speed for 60 seconds.

Step #5 - Enjoy!
If all the above ingredients are used in the proper order given, a light, frosty, frothy drink will emerge that will delight all hardwood lumbermen early in the morning and make your whole day glow.
