A drift kinetic equation is derived which contains higher order effects. The upper bound appropriate to the drift ordering is only imposed so that the result is quite general and can be reduced to previous drift equations. The differential geometry of the magnetic field enters only trivially and a single recursion suffices to obtain the desired result.
