Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass and marvel at the frothy pink perfection that awaits.
Why the Pink Lady Is Perfect:
What makes the Pink Lady truly special is its delicate balance of flavors and textures. The botanical notes of the gin marry beautifully with the rich apple undertones of Laird’s Bottled in Bond, while the tartness of the lemon juice and the sweetness of the grenadine add depth and complexity to the mix. The addition of the egg white gives the cocktail a luxuriously silky texture and a frothy, cloud-like appearance, elevating it to new heights of elegance.
