Swapping raspberry preserves for flamed Green Chartreuse V.E.P. and increasing simple syrup makes it sweeter and herbal, without berry fruitiness.

- Different: Flamed Green Chartreuse V.E.P. instead of the raspberry preserves; .75 oz simple syrup instead of .5 oz.

White Lady
A gin-based cocktail with egg white, Cointreau, lemon juice, and simple syrup. It is lightly tart and lightly sweet, with moderate strength at about 15% ABV.
