So many versions of this drink! What is your favorite recipe for the white lady? Has anybody tried all of these? Maybe a video in the future on every version? Would that be even more confusing? Does it even matter in the grand scheme of it all? Are you still reading this?

Your natural intuition for video content is terrific; your unique blend of history, booze pairings, spec choices, tasting notes, humor and Az interplay is very engaging. For me, I value discovering the decisions you apply to a cocktail's spec - honed over the years by countless trial and error as well as the best practices from other craftmen/women at Ward 8. There are always a few techniques, spirit options/pairings and spec alternatives you share that I find helpful as I mix cocktails at home for family and friends. Plus, I value learning about your favorite cocktails - after all the drinks you have served you've discovered good cocktails and great cocktails. Thanks for sharing your favorites. Your videos have helped me raise my home game. Keep doing what your doing.

Just made the Classic White Lady for my wife and it was a hit. We have had a “bush lemon” tree in our yard for over a decade and today it’s fruit became juice and then a cocktail - it will definitely happen again. Thanks Anders, my first cocktail with an egg white. Not only am I reading your comments and viewing the videos, I’m following your recipes.

I was recommended your channel recently, and damn. There is something about your personality, style, and presentation that I really enjoy. Your videos are amazing. I think you're giving me the motivation I need to start making some cocktails.

I just made a couple of these, and I think this might be my new favorite summer cocktail. It's simple, refreshing, and luxurious all at the same time thanks to the egg white. Unless you're vegan, I strongly recommend folks add the egg white. It gives body and structure to the cocktail and lends it that special umph. Thanks Anders!

I think this might have been the first video of yours I saw. I've finally gotten off my bum and made some creme de menthe (because it's not that easy to get it around here). Your description of the "Old" white lady is spot on. It's really lovely. But exactly what you said: mint on the nose, the orange is really subtle, the lemon is important. Great balance. Nice drink!

The original recipe definitely doesn’t sound like my kind of Sunday in the park. Since you ended up digging it, I wanna try it but I feel like it would probably rock served over crushed ice and a sprig of mint.

Just made both of these and the original recipe surprised me as well. Two completely different drinks, but both lovely.

Startled the daylights out of people in my house by shouting "YES" when you mentioned Cointreau instead of Triple Sec. This was one of, if not the first, gin cocktails I ever made. We had a very limited selection then, but still managed to have Cointreau as one of the mixers. I still use it as a bit of a gauge for new gins.

@grantyoungblood7895

2 жыл бұрын

Most of the time in cocktails calling for triple sec or Cointreau I’ve been using Solerno… blood orange liqueur… adds a very smooth and classy element to the orange!

Just made the modern version... it is wonderful! I had an open bottle of Tanqueray, but I also have an "Old Sport" gin from Greece, which has hints of mastic (an aromatic resin from mastic trees, which only grow on the island of Chios - pronounced "Hee-os")... I cannot wait to try it, it should fit really well in the mix.

Yummy. Made these the second time tonight. The egg whites will jam up a fine strainer so use a coarse one is all I have to add. Very goooood.

I've never had a channel that I've looked forward to their weekly upload before but here we are! I'm not sure if it would be too tedious or cumbersome, but I thought it would be nice if you made playlists of your videos for each base spirit, that way in case anyone's ever like "Hmm, I'm in a mood for something with whiskey, (or gin or rum, etc.)" then they could just head straight to that playlist.

Something I've been wanting to comment: I really appreciate that you have a robust "playlist" where you group the different types of cocktails. Really makes it easy for me to find something if I'm looking for a Gin cocktail or something. I would love it if you started a "morning cocktail" playlist and then I would also love it if you had a "clean" cocktail playlist. The clean one would include gin/vodka (or other alcohols not high in sugars) that don't add sugar to them. I'm sure there are an abundant of cocktails like this, and I would love to see you introduce some (maybe you already have?). Anyway, love your videos, thank you.

I agree, I am still very new and seeing his playlist makes it easy to find a recipe or try a new one with a desired base spirit.

I tried my 1st white lady tonight - hahhaaaa. Funny I watched this, then after I had a gin n tonic the bartender suggested a white lady. I was pleasantly surprised. Obviously it was the newer version - gin forward. Thanks for expanding my horizons.

For fun try making two identical cocktails wit grocery store egg white and farm fresh organic egg white. It’s amazing the difference that old school cocktails were from what we make now.

I think if, in the classic recipe, you replace the lemon juice with half-and-half lemon and orange you get a cocktail called "the maiden's prayer", which takes the bite off the lemon without the need of simple syrup.

Depending where you are, different courses might be offered for bartending. I'd recommend looking up some classic recipes that interest you, buy a couple of bottles, and experiment at home with substitutions and differences in ratios (that's what I did). If you want to learn more about the techniques, you might want to consider a part time job as a bar back in a cocktail bar - no better way to learn than by getting a feel for service while picking the brains of those mixing. Hope this helps and good luck!
