That's a VERY odd recipe for a Ramos. I've made 'em at about 10 places and it always goes like this: half & half, lemon juice, gin, orgeat or noyeaux, egg whites, orange flower water, sprinkle a little nutmeg on top. garnished w/an orange slice. The goal is to balance out the sweet, sour, & creamy, with a little bite from the gin on the finish. A lot of places are avoiding the egg whites due to the possibility of salmonella & using whipping cream, which has a similar (but not as good) fluffing effect.
