  1. Nice and frothy. The flavour of the orange blossom water really dominates the drink. I used extra light thickened cream to cut the fat down a bit, and I didn't miss the full cream at all. Yummy drink! Thanks mersaydees!
     
  2. We had never tried this drink, so we couldn't compare it to others, but we both thought this was great! Delicious with the hint of orange. We'll certainly be making these again. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
     
  3. My DH and I did a Ramos Gin Fizz comparison and this one came out tops. Though not quite as good as the one's I drank in the late 70's at Harry's New York Bar in Grill in Newport Beach it was still pretty tasty and refreshing [or could illegal underage drinking have made them taste better ???? ; ) ] Made for ZWT 9 by one of the Appliance Killers.
     
  4. I'm so sorry Mersaydees. I really thought I would like this drink. Cause I love orange blossom water. But the general taste was not the best for me. Even if I added more club soda. Usually I don't like when I can taste gin but in this one I can't detect the taste of gin. I used half and half cream. Thanks Mersaydees. Made for 123 hit wonders
