Cocktail Hour: White Lady

After being not overly impressed with the gin cocktails in Purl last week (far too strong for me), I decided I'd have a look at another recipe, and I realised I hadn't written anything about the White Lady. Some recipes include an egg white, which I'm often a fan of. But, here's the traditional recipe, so you can tamper with it if you want.

You'll need:

• 50ml gin
• 25ml cointreau
• 25ml lemon juice

Shake it:

Shake the ingredients with ice, strain into a martini glass. If you want a pink lady, add a tiny bit of grenadine. Shake with an egg white if you fancy. You can do all sorts with this drink, so enjoy it.
