The Pink Lady is a classic gin-based cocktail with a long history. Its pink colour is due to adding grenadine.
The exact ingredients for the pink lady vary, but all variations have the use of gin, grenadine and egg white in common. In its most basic form, the pink lady consists of just these three ingredients. According to the Royal Cafe Cocktail Book of 1937, it is made with a glass of gin, a tablespoon of grenadine and the white of one egg, shaken and strained into a glass.
