How to make the White Lady cocktail

[@ThePrototype1997]

Starting a binge of your videos since the lockdown, not dissapointed at all 👌

[@BehindtheBar]

Glad to hear it! Have you tried making any?

[@ThePrototype1997]

@@BehindtheBar I love manhattans so the toronto was a nice change of pace for me!

[@BehindtheBar]

Perfect!

[@icaicatactic]

You worked really hard on interacting with your viewer.. i love you guys.. wish your bar were here..

[@BehindtheBar]

Thank you! Hopefully you can make the trip to Melbourne at some point 😊

[@Brad-ic4bp]

I did use Cointreau, and skipped the egg (because I didn’t have any in the fridge), and it came out good - Surprised how toned-down the gin was (even without the egg). It’s nice - better than any martini.

[@jrmulroney]

With egg white, i have found that just a drop will do. Great drink!

[@LetsTalkDrinks]

Such an underrated cocktail, I love them

[@BehindtheBar]

So simple and delicious.

[@Nasosdag]

First time I made a White Lady I fell in love with it. Such a wonderful cocktail. I am aching to try it with a Greek gin ("Old Sport"), which has hints of mastic in it. I think it will go really well in it.

[@JeffToorish]

Brilliant. This will be my cocktail for next weekend.

[@Barprints]

Love the Marg comparison, makes the recipes easy to remember 👍

[@joshmeiyb]

Really love this Classic Cocktails compilation :D They are simple but solid. Btw, I am a fan from China

[@BehindtheBar]

Thanks Josh, so glad you enjoy!

[@budstoney3589]

I love them both the drink and dessert❤️

[@TheTribalBarGuy]

Great video again! It"s great that you are showing us the variety of Australian alcohol. It's a pity lots of it is unavailable or way to expensive abroad! This knowledge and your videos are highly appreciated though. Stay safe and Cheers!

[@BehindtheBar]

Thank you! I know, it’s a difficult balance because I always want to showcase the local booze that I love, but understand it’s not going to be available everywhere. I try to give enough information and alternatives for people to feel confident making substitutions- something like Tanqueray Sevilla would work really well here as it also has that orange influence 🍊😊

[@TheTribalBarGuy]

@@BehindtheBar Yeah I was also thinking to try and substitute for Tanqueray Seville. And despite the difficulties after seeing your video the other day I am really determined to get my hands on a bottle of the Australian Green Ant gin. That really had a WOW effect on me. Looking forward to your next video and tips. Take care!

[@johnolmos8670]

In HalfMoon Bay Ca.The Moss Beach distillery is haunted by the “Blue Lady”. I make a variation of the White Lady but sub the Cointreau for Blue Curacoa to get the color right and honor the ghost

[@BehindtheBar]

😂 that’s great!

[@Barprints]

That's awesome! Great sub and play on the name!

[@David-mg8zu]

The original recipe doesn’t call for a garnish. And egg white only appeared in later recipes, not in the Savoj version. Back in the early 2000s when you ordered a white lady in London they would make it the original way, no one used eggs, but nowadays you need to specify if you want it without egg white. I do agree it gives the drink a nice silky texture, but I still prefer the older version.

[@little_billy]

I love lemon morainge pie

[@joshayala9022]

I normally use Pierre ferrand dry curaçao, how at comprare to marionette in terms of sweetness. Haven’t made this drink yet, trying to figure out about how much syrup to put in

[@BehindtheBar]

I’d say they’re about the same level of sweetness (both leaning on the drier side) but the Pierre Ferrand is a bit weightier being cognac based (Marionette is blended with neutral grain and brandy so a little fresher and zestier). I wouldn’t think you’d have to adjust the ratio, it will still be delicious!

[@jonak4630]

amazing video, amazing cocktail, thank you

[@BehindtheBar]

Thank you!

[@moosesandmeese969]

Please tell me where I can buy that coupe glass lol

[@BehindtheBar]

It’s an op shop (Australian charity shop) find I’m afraid! You just have to keep your eyes peeled 👀

[@jrgzenrn3531]

Have you ever done reverse dry shaking for any of these egg white cocktails? Is there a benefit to that method over the standard method?

[@BehindtheBar]

Hi Jay! I actually have a bit of a chat about this in the whiskey sour video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/foampJ-sfc-qpas The argument is that adding the ice afterwards actually breaks down your foam, but to be honest I find the reverse dry shake a bit messy and annoying, and I always get a good head doing a normal dry shake so I haven’t bothered switching. It’s probably more scientifically correct though, I just find it hard to break the habit haha

[@jrgzenrn3531]

Behind the Bar oh no! I have rewatch an episode. But first I think I just rewatch your other whiskey videos first to make sure I have proper context 😉

[@BehindtheBar]

Haha and probably have a whisky too...

[@jacobmartinez9821]

Oh I love this. I haven’t tried using egg white yet. I’m a little squeamish if it.

[@BehindtheBar]

I understand- you could try chickpea brine or a vegan replacement like instafoam. But I think once you take the plunge you won’t look back!

[@alexdunphy3716]

I was squeamish of egg white in drinks at first too, but it really is quite nice

[@WindowBird21]

Aquafaba (the water from chickpeas) is actually an amazing substitute, I didn't expect it to work so well but it's all we use at the bar I work at!

[@Barprints]

Not sure if you ever got around to these subs, or if you tried the egg whites and liked it, but they have some great foamers like "Mrs. Betters Miraculous Foamer" that are great substitutes

[@milosmalcic3522]

Im new on your channel and I really enoy watching your videos 😊 PS very cool tattoos 😃

[@BehindtheBar]

Thank you! They’re almost mandatory to be a bartender in Melbourne haha

[@SteveAbrahall]

Hmmm must buy bottle of Gin! LOL lovely vid yet again ... thanks.

[@BehindtheBar]

Haha we’re about 5 weeks of gin cocktails in, I’m surprised you haven’t yet!

[@SteveAbrahall]

@@BehindtheBar MIght have to get a case! LOL

[@JD-zx7de]

I was looking for a nice coupe for myself and I found one identical to the one in this video at my local tip! Does it have a name?

[@BehindtheBar]

Not that I’m aware of! Honestly I’ve always wondered if they are trifle glasses rather than cocktail coupes haha

[@sameerali850]

delicious white lady cocktail prepared by a beautiful white lady

[@Sheldonipudeli]

How bout a White Linen recipe all tuned up? I’d love to see your twist on it.

[@BehindtheBar]

You know, I’d never heard of a White Linen until now! I’ve made hundreds of cocktails just like it cause it’s such a classic flavour combination but always thought of them more as Southside twists (via the Eastside and the Upper Eastside). Cool, I’ll have to try his spec!

[@Sheldonipudeli]

Behind the Bar and by the way, I LOVE your videos and flair! I’ve made almost the whole portfolio of your rum drinks at home. I look forward to each new installment. And thank you for breaking down bar tending to layman’s terms. One day I will get your autographs! ;-)

[@Barprints]

What's in that one? Never heard of it

[@johnolmos8670]

It is an absolutely delicious cocktail.Great for Halloween time as well since a white lady is a ghost.

[@BehindtheBar]

👻

[@EricHonaker]

Kind of a tangent, in one of the other videos featuring gin you mentioned Hendricks by saying "Cara doesn't drink that swill." I'm curious what's bad about it. I've just recently gotten to like gin, after a lifetime of thinking I hated it and it tasted like Pine-Sol.

[@BehindtheBar]

There’s absolutely nothing bad about it, it’s a great gin! My editor was just teasing me because I chose Martin Miller’s over the more obvious Hendrick’s, but that is just because Hendrick’s have done such an awesome job of marketing themselves that most people already know if they like it. I thought I’d try introducing something that people might not have heard of before! The ‘Pine-Sol’ note that you’re talking about is the juniper, which can be a love it or hate it thing. Hendricks is part of a movement of gins which use lighter, more floral botanicals and dial back the juniper. If you let me know where you’re situated I can suggest some other local ones in a similar style 😊

[@EricHonaker]

@@BehindtheBar I'm in Minnesota in the US.

[@BehindtheBar]

Maybe have a look at some on this list- I haven’t tried most of the US ones but I love The Botanist and G’Vine so I trust they have good taste: distiller.com/lists/floral-gins-for-spring

[@BehindtheBar]

Hey Eric, Josh here (behind the camera, not the bar). It was a bit of a joke because while filming I asked Cara what she thought of Hendricks and if it was a good substitution she was very coy about it but wouldn't tell me why. So yes, a bit of teasing on my part but I think there's something to it!!

[@jrgzenrn3531]

Knickerbocker by New Holland out of Michigan and Rehorst Barrel Aged Gin by Great Lakes Distillery out of Wisconsin are both great Midwestern gins and good in a gimlet or a sour. Neither is particularly juniper forward. Botanivore Gin by St. George out of California is a very juniper-forward gin, but is nicely balanced by the other botanicals. It’s great in a Negroni. Your mileage may vary.

[@TheRestaurantAcademy]

Awesome, Video. I appreciate your content. Would love to know your favorite cocktail, please?

[@BehindtheBar]

Thank you, that means a lot! I always find that such a hard questions, I mix it up all the time! I’d probably cheat and say a Martini since you can have it all kinds of different ways. What’s yours?

[@TheRestaurantAcademy]

@@BehindtheBar Hard one to select. Whisky Sour any day. Martini has lot of GOOD AND BAD memories.

[@BehindtheBar]

Hahaha that’s fair! Whisky sour is always a good choice. Tommy’s Margarita would probably be my go-to for a shaken drink 😊

[@S24W2]

Very nice, but definitely I'll leave out the egg White, I'd be nervous enough.

[@BehindtheBar]

Fair enough pal - try Aquafaba (chickpea water) or something like Instafoam 😊

[@little_billy]

Ahhh, that's why you taste it

[@loucat2779]

breakfast is served!!!

[@Barprints]

Add a breakfast martini to the mix and we're day drinking in style😜

[@wojomojo]

The spicy version of this drink in the US is now called a Karen. Thx, I’ll see myself out.... 😅

[@joshayala9022]

🤣🤣🤣

[@loucat2779]

that's just funny right there. I'm just jealous I didn't think of that.

[@kuihj2002]

Lolllllllll

[@Barprints]

WOOOOOWWWWW😂😂😂

[@Killthebatsman]

Can I swap vodka for gin?

[@BehindtheBar]

Definitely!

[@noahkohn9350]

Can you help us understand how this made without the egg white would be different than a Daisy? Edit: made that comment before I got to the end…you had me at Lemon Meringue Pie!!!!

[@BehindtheBar]

Haha!

[@little_billy]

I love rum, my taste ain't that good, you help make it better

[@ashokpandey5196]

You are very beautiful !

[@randypullman1155]

Nice drink... I am curious though. Your an incredibly beautiful woman...obviously. I'm American and just happen to know that most YT viewers are men especially on a channel as attractive and professional as yours. With that said let me get to my point. I'm not 100% sure about Australia or beautiful mother land but here in the beautiful United States the nose ring is for women who hate men aka raging feminist club. In any case I'm not allowed to support your channel directly although I can continue to watch. Cheers
