White Lady
A classic gin cocktail that's tart and silky smooth.
Equipment
- cocktail shaker
Ingredients
- 2 oz gin
- ½ oz Cointreau/orange liqueur
- ¾ oz lemon juice
- ¼ oz simple syrup
- 1 egg white
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker without ice. (This is called a “dry shake”.) Shake for 20-30 seconds.*
- Then, add ice and shake for another 30-45 seconds.
- Strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.
Notes
*You may want to shake over a sink because the lack of ice will mean that the metal cocktail shaker won't contract to create a tight seal. I.e. it's gonna leak.
