White Lady

WHITE LADY

2oz gin

3/4 oz cointreau

1oz lime juice

white of a small egg

shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass

I had two reasons for making this cocktail. 1) I had some limes I wanted to use up. 2) it called for egg whites and i've always liked the idea of using them in cocktails. If you don't want to use the raw egg you can buy pasterized egg whites as the grocery. The egg whites add a nice frothy note. This one is pretty potent, but it's a nice crisp cocktail for a cold winter day.
