    This cocktail is a variant of the Sidecar

White lady is a classic cocktail that is made with gin, cointreau or triple sec, fresh lemon juice and an optional egg white.

It belongs to the sidecar family, made with gin in place of brandy.

The cocktail sometimes also includes additional ingredients, for example egg white, sugar, cream, or creme de menthe.

The classic concoction is most commonly served in a Martini cocktail glass.

When an egg white is added a champagne coupe is preferable; the silky foam clings more pleasingly to the curved glass.
