The White Lady is a Cocktail consisting of Gin, Triple Sec, Fresh Lemon Juice, and sometimes Eggwhite.


History of the White Lady

"This cocktail was invented by Harry MacElhone in 1919 at Ciro's Club, London. He original used Creme de Menthe, but switched it with gin at Harry's New York Bar, Paris in 1929."

The above may, or may not, be true. Harry Craddock claims the White Lady (Gin, Cointreau, Fresh Lemon Juice). Harry MacElhone just created a drink with the same name earlier.
