That was another amazing cocktail story, about the White Lady. I wonder if there is any connection between the cocktail and Whiteladies Road in Bristol. There are plenty of bars around that part of town but no venue with the class of the Savoy and no self-respecting Bristolian would go drinking there these days with all the students hanging around.
Anyhow, I gave White Lady a go at home. Using an egg was novel for me. Fortunately, I live with an amazing chef who helped me out with a little trick to get the egg white without making a mess. Apart from Eggnog, I cannot think of other cocktails containing eggs. Is that the only one? I suppose, there must be others but I’ll leave that to you, bartender, to share with the rest of the punters here.
You mentioned that the next time you might be using Grenadine. I have just bought some from Sainsburys at a reasonable price.
Ah, the most elegant of cocktails! I hadn't tried to make a White Lady in a long time - not sure if I am finally getting better at this or if it's the good inspiration from the newsletter, but today's tasted better than I remembered 🙂 Thanks for suggesting it, Richard.
I am very curious for next week - that shopping list looks very promising!
How are you today, Bartender?

Take it easy, Cheers.
