Cocktail Description

This frosty twist on the classic White Lady transforms the original into a luscious, mint-forward experience that's both sophisticated and refreshing.

The Minty White Lady balances the botanical backbone of Beefeater gin with the cool intensity of crème de menthe, while cream and milk add silky richness that's lightened by the frothy egg white cap. Its flavor profile walks a delightful line between dessert-like indulgence and bracing herbal complexity. Surprisingly simple to make despite its impressive appearance, this cocktail requires just a good shake with ice and a fine strain to achieve its elegant texture. It shines as an after-dinner drink during warmer months or as a festive holiday option when mint flavors feel particularly seasonal. The Minty White Lady pairs beautifully with chocolate desserts, where the mint creates a classic flavor combination, or alongside lighter fare like shortbread cookies where its creamy richness can take center stage.
