About the White Lady
The White Lady is a sour cocktail featuring gin and triple sec as base ingredients, balanced by fresh lemon juice. It belongs to the sidecar family and is characterized by its citrusy profile and clean finish. The drink offers a bright acidity with herbal notes from the gin.
History
The original White Lady recipe was created in 1919 by Harry MacElhone at Ciro's Club in London. It was later modified in 1929 at Harry's New York Bar in Paris, where gin replaced the original crème de menthe ingredient.
