It is believed to have been created by bartender Harry MacElhone at his famous Harry's New York Bar in Paris. The cocktail gets its name from the pale, frothy appearance which resembles a white lady's dress. The triple sec adds a hint of sweetness and orange flavor, while the lemon juice provides a zesty and tangy kick. The star ingredient, gin, gives the cocktail a strong herbal and juniper flavor, making it a favorite among gin lovers. The combination of these ingredients creates a well-balanced and refreshing drink with a smooth and crisp finish. This elegant and timeless cocktail is a must-try for any cocktail enthusiast.
