  "history": {
    "key": "cocktail.white_lady.history",
    "default": "The first documented recipe for the White Lady was published in Harry Craddock's The Savoy Cocktail Book (1930), and it's for that reason that the drink has an enduring association with the American Bar at the Savoy. But it was infact invented by one other famous Harry of the mixologists' stable—Harry MacElhone. The son of a jute-mill owner from Dundee, Scotland, MacElhone began bartending at the age of 21, in 1911, at No. 5 Rue Daunou in Paris. Twelve years later, having worked through bars in New York and London, he would buy that bar and rename it Harry's New York Bar, which is today better known as simply Harry's Bar. It was while working at Ciro's Club in London that Harry first created a drink called White Lady. Originally comprising two parts Cointreau to one part crème de menthe and one part lemon juice, the drink tasted like a bad throat lozenge. By the time he opened Harry's Bar in Paris, he had seen sense, removing the crème de menthe, knocking back the Cointreau and adding a healthy slug of gin. He also added egg white, which besides giving the drink a foamy head, also produced a befitting white opacity."
