White Lady

The White Lady is a classic cocktail created by renowned bartender Harry Craddock in the 1920s. It first appeared at the American Bar in London's Savoy Hotel and was later refined at the Ritz Hotel in Paris. Its name comes from its clear appearance and elegant flavor, making it a gin-based citrus cocktail that showcases perfect balance and refinement.

Flavor
The White Lady blends the botanical aromas of gin, the sweet orange flavor of triple sec, and the bright acidity of fresh lemon juice. The overall taste is refreshing and invigorating, balanced and elegant, with the bright citrus notes and the unique herbal characteristics of gin.
