Review

This tequila (in place of gin) based riff on a White Lady is basically a straight-up Margarita made with lemon rather than lime, softened and smoothed by egg white. This is a delightful drink. Go easy spraying the zest, as this can overly dominate the drink. It also works best with light agave syrup, as the darker versions affect its virgin-like hue and can add unwanted caramel notes.

Decent, but it feels a bit flat. I wish I had Margarita Bitters to experiment.

I wish you had them too! We’ll manage to go global one day.

I really do wish Simon. I'm from the country that doesn't even have a Creole-style bitters available, so, can't let my hopes up...

Great sour. Delightful indeed! I'd describe it as more of a six or seven on the sweet dry/sour scale than a four.

Thanks, Galvin. I've moved to a four and will revisit when I next make this cocktail.

Superb cocktail. Perhaps tastier than a margarita

Wonderful. We just had to serve it with some extra small ice cubes (not crushed). Maybe it is because we just can't chill a glass properly yet. We're amateurs.
