PINK LADY COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Add all ingredients into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake well and strain into chilled martini glass. Garnish with maraschino cherry.

PINK LADY (CHAMPAGNE COCKTAIL)

Steps:

• In a saucepan, heat the cranberries, water, sugar and zest to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the cranberries pop and the syrup turns pink, about 10 minutes.
• Strain through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing with a spatula. Discard the fruit.
• Pour into a jar, cover and chill.
• To make the cocktails: pour 1 tbl triple sec and two tbl of the cranberry syrup into a champagne flute.
• Fill with champagne. Drop in a cranberry and enjoy. (I made this also with non-alcoholic champagne and it was very good.).

PINK LADY COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Put two coupe or cocktail glasses in the fridge to chill. Pour the gin and grenadine into a cocktail shaker, then fill with ice. Shake until the outside of the shaker feels ice-cold. Strain the mixture into a jug, discarding the ice.
• Tip the egg white into the shaker and pour in the gin mixture. Shake well until the egg white is frothy - you can also do this in a food processor or using a hand blender, if you like. Pour the cocktail into the prepared glasses. Skewer the cherries onto cocktail sticks, if using, then use to garnish the glasses along with the pared lemon zest, if you like.
