The White Lady is a cocktail that sticks to the same basic formula as
the Margarita and the Sidecar: a base spirit shaken with Cointreau and citrus juice. The gin makes her the elegant one in the group and she is classy in a clean, crisp and discreet way. A lady's age should never be mentioned, suffice to say that her first appearance was in the 1920s. A very civilized drink indeed.
4 cl dry gin
1.5 cl Cointreau
1.5 cl lemon juice
0.5 cl simple syrup
Shake the ingredients with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon twist or don't.
Egg white is often added to give the drink a creamy mouthfeel and thin foam. To try it, add 1cl pasteurized egg white to the other ingredients.
