From the Bartender

Equal parts of all four ingredients is the classic IBA spec, but many bartenders nudge the cream down to 10ml to keep the drink from feeling too heavy - the orange juice already provides plenty of body. Double straining is essential here to catch any ice shards that would dilute the creamy texture.
