About
This recipe for the White Lady made with gin, Cointreau and lemon juice was published in 1930 in the book "The Savoy Cocktail Book". There is another version of the White Lady created by Harry McElhone around the 1920s, which is quite different since it is made with brandy, crème de menthe and Cointreau.
