The Pink Lady is a classic cocktail that has a light blush color contributed by the dashes of grenadine. It was one of the first "girly drinks" and a favorite of the high society ladies of the 30’s. The key to this drink (and any shaken with egg) is to shake it longer than you would with most cocktails to ensure that everything is mixed well. The egg also makes a great foamy top of the pink liquid, creating an intimate looking finished cocktail.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 1/2 oz gin
- 3/4 oz applejack
- 1/4 oz lemon juice
- 1-2 dashes grenadine
- 1 egg white
- maraschino cherry for garnish
PREPARATION:
- Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
- Shake vigorously.
- Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
- Garnish with the cherry
