Pro Tips

🆚 Sidecar Connection

The White Lady is essentially a Sidecar with gin instead of cognac. Harry Craddock perfected it at The Savoy in 1929, adding egg white for silky texture.

🥚 Egg White Debate

The original Savoy recipe included egg white; modern versions often skip it. Try both ways – the egg white adds body and a beautiful foam.
