What is the bartender tip for a Lemon Lady?
It's a White Lady in daisy form — the sweet comes from limoncello, not triple sec. No extra syrup; if the limoncello is dry, 5 ml of 1:1 syrup rounds it. Baco gin (lemon and rosemary) is the one in the video; a London Dry or another citrus gin covers it. Traditional Italian-style limoncello (Baco in the short). Dry shake first, then ice; behind the bar, pasteurized egg white. Lemon, not lime — lime comes out greener and buries the floral note. Double strain into a cold coupe. The white rounds the acid; what's left is the smell of freshly cut peel. It is not the White Lady (Cointreau, IBA without egg), Cello Siciliano (limoncello and lemon soda), or the Limoncello Spritz (sparkling wine).
