What is "white lady"?

White Lady is a classic cocktail that is made with gin, Cointreau, and lemon juice. The drink is typically shaken with ice and strained into a cocktail glass, often garnished with a twist of lemon peel. The white lady has a crisp and refreshing taste, with the gin providing a botanical and juniper flavor that is balanced by the sweetness and citrusy notes of the Cointreau and lemon. The cocktail has a long history, dating back to the early 20th century, and was popularized during the 1920s and 30s. It has remained a popular choice among cocktail enthusiasts and bartenders, and is often featured on cocktail menus around the world.
