Recipe: White Lady, a Classic Gin Cocktail

The white lady loves you more

Gin and tonic is the quintessential thirst quencher in our household, especially on those summer evenings when water is too lame as an option.  When Mark Gill, aka @TheCocktailGeek, tweeted White Lady, a tart, but refreshing classic cocktail, we made a mental note to make it as soon as a perfect spring day presented itself.  If you appreciate the idea of a citrus infused gin (with a frothy delicious, light topping), you will find White Lady a welcomed addition to your repertoire.

Prep time: 3 min
Makes: 1 fine refreshing cocktail

Sounds delightful. A friend has invited us to gin and tonic on their newly-painted terrace soon. I might sneakily suggest this invention to them...

Love the mix! Assume step one should also have lemon juice in the shaker? Or can I shoot that beforehand to enhance the sweetness after? :-)
