Instructions

Add the gin, simple syrup, heavy cream, lemon juice, lime juice, orange blossom water, vanilla, and egg white to a cocktail shaker. Dry shake (no ice) vigorously for 30 seconds.
Add the ice and shake for 15 seconds.
Strain into a Collins glass (chilled if possible), and top with club soda.
Garnish with orange and mint.

Notes

Raw Egg White: You can use a farm-fresh egg white or pasteurized egg white, whichever you are more comfortable with.
Lemon and Lime Juice: For the best flavor, use freshly-squeezed lemon and lime juice.
If You're Fancy: Traditionally, you pour both the strained cocktail and the chilled club soda into the glass at the same time so they run together and form a single stream of liquid. I don’t have those kinds of skills, but if you do, give it a go!
For a lemon meringue pie-flavored beverage, omit the vanilla and use all lemon juice (1 ounce total) instead of a combination of lemon and lime juice.
For a key lime pie-inspired drink, omit the vanilla and use all lime juice (1 ounce total) instead of a combination of lemon and lime juice. Add 1/2 teaspoon of fresh lime zest as well.
