white lady: tips & tricks
The White Lady is an official IBA cocktail sour and, under its candid guise, hides a harmony of flavour played on the tones of citrus fruit and the pungent tang of gin.
The Triple Sec used is very important in defining the final taste: if you like sharp flavours, a low-sugar, highly citrusy type will do; otherwise, you can round it off a little with a dash of sugar syrup.
Some suggest adding egg white, despite the fact that the official IBA recipe does not call for it: it is true that it adds texture and gives the drink a nice ghostly appearance, but the taste of egg white somewhat weighs down the freshnessof the White Lady, at the expense of aromatic elegance.
