How to make the White Lady cocktail

One of bartender extraordinaire Harry Craddock’s most well-known concoctions, The White Lady cocktail is a gin-based cousin of a Margarita or a Sidecar. The egg white here rounds the bright citrus notes, and adds a light fluffy texture, but can be left out for a sharper (and vegan friendly) version.

Specs:
50ml (1 & 2/3oz) London Dry gin (Four Pillars)
20ml (2/3oz) triple sec or Curacao (Marionette)
20ml (2/3oz) fresh lemon juice
10ml (1/3oz) sugar syrup
10ml (1/3oz) egg white (optional)
Lemon twist to garnish (optional)

Equipment:
A coupe
A jigger
Shaker tins
A hawthorn strainer
A fine strainer
Prepare your lemon twist.

Method:
Add all ingredients to your shaker tin. If you’re using an egg white, add that here too.
Before adding ice, you want to dry shake to get a nice froth. You'll need to shake quite hard.
Once you have a nice froth, fill the smaller shaker tin with ice and shake hard again, this time until cold. It’s important to double strain (use the hawthorn strainer to hold the ice back in the tin and pour through the fine strainer), otherwise the ice chips will ruin the froth.
Strain into chilled coupe and if you are using a lemon twist, squeeze the it to expel the citrus oil over the drink then add the twist in to the glass.
Enjoy!
