About the Pink Lady
The Pink Lady is a sour-style cocktail made with gin as its base. Its ingredients give it a sweet, fruity character balanced by the silky texture of egg white, creating a delicate pink appearance.
History
The exact origin of the Pink Lady is unknown. It was widely known during Prohibition and gained a reputation as a 'female' drink in the 1930s-40s due to its name and sweet flavor. The cocktail fell out of favor with male critics but remained popular with some women who may have been new to drinking.
