Pink Lady
- 1 1/2 oz Gin
- 1/3 oz
Grenadine orRaspberry Syrup - 1 Egg white (Optional)
- Garnish with a Cherry
I recommend using a Champagne Saucer glass for this cocktail.
and a variation of the Pink Lady…
Clover Club Cocktail
- 1 1/2 oz Gin
- 3/4 oz Lemon Juice
- 1/4 Raspberry Syrup
(or Grenadine) - 1 Egg White
- Garnish with a Cherry
You could use a Champange Saucer or a Martini Glass for this cocktail
For these two cocktails, load up the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice. Make sure you shake it really well to mix everything together. You could also do a dry shake (without the ice) for a minute to emulsify the egg white and then add the ice and shake for another 20 seconds. Garnish with a cherry. In my case, I tried to fancy it up with 2 lime peels and a cherry.
The original cocktail, the Pink Lady, has many variations for ingredients. The basic recipe calls for Gin, Grenadine, and Egg white.
When I learned to make this drink, sweet cream was also part of the recipe for the Pink Lady. However, I later discovered that the creamy version is known as a Pink Shimmy.
Cheers!
EDIT (Jan 27, 2013): Important discovery. Grenadine is pretty terrible. It’s just flavoured sugar really. Use Okanagan Spirits! http://www.okanaganspirits.com/products/liqueurs/
A bit pricey but for a quality drink, you’ll want this. I’m pretty sure this is what most quality bars making this drink will use.
