I fell in love with the art of mixology 6 years ago. Since then, I've honed my skills, crafting a myriad of co*cktail recipes, and sharing my passion with other enthusiasts.
The Lusty Lady is a classic co*cktail that originated in the 1920s during the Prohibition era. It was a favorite among the flapper crowd, known for their love of dancing, jazz, and co*cktails. This co*cktail is perfect for those who enjoy a balance of sweet and sour flavors with a hint of bitterness. It's a sophisticated choice for a night out or a romantic dinner.
How Lusty Lady Tastes?
The Lusty Lady is a delightful blend of sweet, sour, and slightly bitter flavors. The sweetness of the grenadine is balanced by the tartness of the lemon juice, while the gin adds a subtle hint of bitterness. It's a refreshing, well-rounded co*cktail that leaves a lingering taste on the palate.
Interesting facts about Lusty Lady
The Lusty Lady was a popular choice among the flapper crowd in the 1920s.
It's a well-balanced co*cktail that combines sweet, sour, and bitter flavors.
The co*cktail is named after the Lusty Lady, a famous strip club in San Francisco that closed in 2013.
Gin is the backbone of the Lusty Lady, providing a complex botanical base. Picking a well-rounded gin is like choosing the perfect date outfit—it sets the tone! Too much gin can turn your co*cktail from a dream date to a sloppy night out, while too little might leave your taste buds feeling stood up.

Lemon Juice: 0.75 oz
Lemon juice is like the zesty conversation that sparks interest. It adds brightness and balances the sweetness of grenadine. Squeeze those lemons just right! Overpowering lemon makes for a sour experience, and too little is like flat dialogue — unengaging and forgettable.
Mary Mitkina
Grenadine: 0.5 oz
Grenadine is the wink across the room; it adds a sweet, red blush to the mix. It's got suave moves but in excess, it can be overly saccharine, killing the vibe. Not enough, and you'll miss the co*cktail's sweet allure.
The egg white gives the Lusty Lady her luxurious frothy coat. It smooths the edges of the drink, giving it a rich, silky mouthfeel. Leaving it out is like skipping the charm school—where's the finesse? However, too much can mean a foam party instead of a classy affair.

Maraschino Cherry: 1
The cherry on top — literally! The maraschino cherry is the flirtatious finish that ties everything together. It's a small touch but skip it, and you're missing that final cheeky flourish.

Almost all the classic drinks you know and love, from the Daiquiri to the Gimlet or the Margarita come down to the same basic ratio: 2:1:1. That's two parts spirit, one part sweet, and one part sour, commonly known as the Golden Ratio.
Mixing Ratios: A good starting point for your co*cktail could be 1 part alcohol to 2 parts fruit juice. However, this can be adjusted based on the strength of the alcohol, the sweetness or tartness of the juice, and your personal taste. Add Extras for Complexity: A splash of soda water can lighten a too-strong co*cktail.
The fundamental elements of a co*cktail—the spirit, the balancing agents like sugar or citrus juice, the modifiers, and water—are the same no matter the 'doctoring' you apply. Mixed together in proper proportions, these elements make up a balanced, flavorful drink.

So what IS the co*cktail equation? Drum roll please…. These numbers represent the co*cktail ratio—or “parts” in bartending terms—of your ingredients. Two parts base spirit to one part sweet to one part sour.
The key to delicious co*cktails is balance. In early 19th century definitions, co*cktails are said to comprise four elements: spirits, sugar, water and bitters. Classic co*cktails like the Sazerac, Old Fashioned and Manhattan draw from this essential structure.
In medicine, pink lady is a term used for a combination of medications used to treat gastroesophageal reflux or gastritis. It usually consists of an antacid and the anaesthetic lidocaine. Some variants contain an anticholinergic. The name of the preparation comes from its colour – pink.
ONE - consume no more than one standard * drink per hour. TWO - consume no more than two standard * drinks per occasion. THREE - never exceed three standard drinks per occasion.
1 = One drink per hour. This is the standard amount of alcohol that the liver can process and metabolize in an hour. Higher intakes can cause liver, heart and stomach diseases, high blood pressure and obesity. 3 = Three drinks maximum per outing.
As a rule of thumb, a co*cktail is 50ml of the “base” spirit (that's a double shot), plus a couple of other bits and bobs. Use a generous hand with spirits, and a stingy hand with bits and bobs. It's easy to make a co*cktail more sweet or sour or dilute; it's harder to make it unsweet or unsour and undilute.
A proper co*cktail should not disguise its booziness; it should celebrate it. As a rule of thumb, a co*cktail is a 50ml double shot of the 'base' spirit, plus a couple of other bits and bobs. Use a generous hand with spirits and a stingy hand with bits and bobs.
