Lady Be Good is a classic cocktail that dates back to the Prohibition era in the United States. This elegant drink combines gin, Cointreau, lemon juice, and egg white for a refreshing and sophisticated taste.
Originating from the 1920s, Lady Be Good was named after the popular jazz standard of the same name by George and Ira Gershwin. The song tells the story of a woman who leaves her lover behind when she goes out dancing with other men. The cocktail captures this sense of sophistication and allure with its smooth texture and citrusy flavor profile.
To make a Lady Be Good cocktail, you will need:
- 2 oz gin
- 1 oz Cointreau
- 3/4 oz fresh lemon juice
- 1 egg white
Combine all ingredients in a shaker without ice and shake vigorously to emulsify the egg white. Add ice to the shaker and shake again until well chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe glass and garnish with a twist of lemon peel.
The combination of gin, Cointreau, lemon juice, and egg white creates a velvety texture with bright citrus notes that are balanced by the botanicals in the gin. The frothy foam on top adds an elegant touch to this classic cocktail.
Whether you're hosting a Gatsby-themed party or simply looking for a timeless drink recipe to enjoy at home, Lady Be Good is sure to impress your guests with its rich history and delicious taste. Cheers!
