MxMo XXXV: Broaden Your Horizons – White Lady

This MxMo XXXV theme is “Broaden Your Horizons”. I think is very interesing and perspective theme for me. My wife help me to choose a cocktail and horizons which I investigate on this MxMo. Mixing with raw egg is my new horizons! Actually I fear (and hate) raw eggs. But for this MxMo I can beat my fear.

The White Lady (Коктейль Белая Леди)

I decide to preapare White Lady Cocktail – really classic and famous cocktail. Good story of this cocktail you may read on Esquire Drink Database. This cocktail is realy monumental. Some imbabers, for example Anthony Hogg (in book Cocktails and Mixed Drinks), pay great attention to White Lady Cocktail. It take second place (after Martini!) in Big Seven by Anthony Hogg. White Lady Cocktail has so simple and elegant composition – gin, Cointreau, fresh lemon juice and dash of raw egg white.

Claridge

This elegant cocktail was invented in lobby-bar Savoy Hotel (not Claridge as you may reflect!). Claridge Cocktail has very interesting and real taste. I think it is ideal on after work evening or romantic night.

Claridge

30 ml gin
30 ml dry vermouth
15 ml Cointreau
15 ml apricot brandy
Shake. Cocktail glass.

Admirable! Claridge Cocktail has unique rich sweet taste. Actually the taste of Claridge Cocktail not depend on its coldness – this cocktail has very good taste at room temperature.

This concoction is one of the rare case to use Bols Red Orange. Unintelligible cocktail was found on Drinksmixer – a dump of strange cocktail recipe.

Bloody Sun

20 ml gin
20 ml Bols Red Orange liqueur
10 ml Cointreau
orange juice
Shake gin, orange liqueur and cointreau. Pour into a glass filled with ice cubes and fill with orange juice. Old-Fashioned glass.

It is ordinary “tropical” drink with light, sweet and citrus taste. Nothing special.
