Tracing the hazy origins of the classic White Lady cocktail
In short: The history of the White Lady is a matter of debate, with various bars and bartenders claiming its invention. This video explores different historical variations of the drink.
The video examines several versions of the cocktail, including a three-ingredient original, a version without egg white, and one without cream. While the exact origin remains uncertain, the presentation highlights competing recipes from the same era, such as Harry Craddock's lemon juice version and a lime juice variation from London's Quaglino's.
