The White Lady is an elegant and classic cocktail that features a sophisticated blend of gin, orange liqueur, lemon juice, and egg white. This combination creates a smooth, citrusy drink with a frothy, silky texture provided by the egg white, which beautifully complements the botanical notes of the gin. The orange liqueur adds a sweet and slightly zesty flavor that balances the tartness of the lemon juice, resulting in a harmonious and refined cocktail. Often shaken vigorously to achieve the perfect froth, the White Lady is typically served in a chilled cocktail glass and garnished with a twist of lemon peel, making it a visually appealing and refreshing choice for any cocktail hour or elegant gathering.
