White Lady – Olimax' Extreme Lunching

White Lady

  • 50 ml London Dry gin
  • 25 ml Cointreau
  • 25 ml fresh lemon juice
  • 5 ml 2:1 sugar syrup or Monin Pure Cane Sugar Syrup
  • 15 ml pasteurised egg white

Dry shake the lot (without ice) vigorously for a couple of minutes. Add ice and shake again. Pour into a Nick and Nora or Martini glass. Garnish with a slither of lemon peel.

Harry Craddock, he of the Savoy Cocktail Book fame, claimed it as his own signature cocktail, and even buried one, in a shaker, in the wall of the Dorchester. However it appears that it had been around a good while before his time. A variation on the Sidecar, this should be made with the cocktail classic, 2:1:1 formulae. The original, or at least Harry’s, had no use for sugar, but modern sensibilities move on and it is pretty sharp without any. Some idiots even leave out the egg white but what is the point? It would no longer be white and thus no longer a White Lady. Drink something else if you are that bothered.
