One of my very favorite drinks is undeniably the White Lady. Love the tartness of the lemony drink and the thick foamy head from the egg white. If you’ve not had a drink made with egg whites, do it, now, it’s incredible.

The main trick to this drink is to dry shake the drink, meaning, to shake the drink ingredients in a cocktail shaker with NO ice to create the white foamy head.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ ounces Gin (I used Aviation American Gin)
• ¾ ounce Triple Sec
• 1 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
• ½ ounce simple syrup
• ½ an egg white
• 3 or 4 drops of bitters (optional)

Directions:

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add all the ingredients except the bitters. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds then strain into a second shaker (without the ice) and ‘dry shake’ for about 30 seconds. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass (I use a coupe). If using, add a few drops of bitters to the surface of the foamy top.

Makes one cocktail.
