White Lady Soul

White Lady Soul is citrusy gin rounded out with a dose of pineapple. It is served like a quintessential sophisticated gin cocktail so it can easily slip into your recipe repertoire.

A good friend of Sue’s, Kim runs the theatrical production company, Origin Theatrical. We created this cocktail during the Covid 19 pandemic to sweeten one of the online watch parties Kim organised to keep them socially connected. White Lady Soul is designed to be sipped while watching Dusty, the Dusty Springfield Musical.

We based this recipe on the classic, White Lady drink. Firstly, to make it easier, simple sugar syrup and egg white are replaced by pineapple juice. As a result, you still get a frothy top, but it is slightly less thick than what egg white would achieve. Secondly, we looked at sweetness, which wasn’t straightforward since both triple sec and pineapple juice have this job. And finally, we adjusted the amount of acid via lemon juice.

The result was exactly what we love, a simple, never fail recipe.

Lazy Margarita

This isn’t a new recipe. It is a lazy method to get a margarita in your hand faster, using less implements. You can cull another step by using bottled juice instead of lemons but the aroma from bruised peel complements the citrus flavour of Cointreau or triple sec.

Recipients: Cool, fun, party people

Type: Made in glass
