White Lady History
The White Lady has two main origin stories. One claims Harry MacElhone first created it in 1919 at Ciro's Bar in Paris, using crème de menthe as the base.
After MacElhone moved to the American Bar at London's Savoy Hotel in 1929, he changed the base to dry gin, creating the current recipe.
The name "White Lady" reportedly comes from the cocktail's elegant, pale appearance, though some say it was dedicated to a specific woman. It was a signature cocktail of the Jazz Age in the 1920s-30s, a regular at high-society parties.
