I've decided gin is under-represented in my drinks file, so I'm trying to add a few more gin-based cocktails.... this one is so simple and elegant.

White Lady (also called Delilah)

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 oz gin
3/4 oz Cointreau (or other orange liqueur)
3/4 oz lemon juice

(sometimes, a bit of egg white is also added)

PREPARATION:

Pour the ingredients into a shaker with ice cubes.
Shake well.
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
