Bright, citrusy and silky smooth, the White Lady is a classic gin cocktail with plenty of room for Australian character.
Our version uses Backwoods Blood Orange & Bush Honey Gin, which brings vibrant citrus and native Australian flavour to the combination of Triple Sec, fresh lemon and sugar syrup.
Ingredients
- 45ml Backwoods Blood Orange & Bush Honey Gin
- 15ml Triple Sec
- 30ml fresh lemon juice
- 10ml sugar syrup
- 15ml egg white or aquafaba
- Ice
- Lemon peel, to garnish
Method
- Add the gin, Triple Sec, lemon juice, sugar syrup and egg white or aquafaba to a cocktail shaker.
- Shake without ice. This dry shake helps create a smooth, foamy texture.
- Add ice and shake again until well chilled.
- Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
- Garnish with a thin slice of lemon peel.
Why we love the White Lady
The White Lady is all about citrus and balance.
Fresh lemon brings brightness, Triple Sec adds orange sweetness, while the egg white or aquafaba creates a soft, silky texture. Using our Blood Orange & Bush Honey Gin adds another layer of citrus and Australian flavour to the classic recipe.
It's elegant enough for a special occasion but simple enough to make at home.
