About the Pink Lady
Probably named after The Pink Lady, a hit Broadway musical of 1911. The applejack gives it more backbone than its colour suggests.

- No Gin? Use Genever (Maltier and rounder)
- No Apple Brandy? Use Calvados
- No Apple Brandy? Use Brandy (Grape instead of apple)
- No Lemon Juice? Use Lemon (Squeeze fresh: 1 lemon gives about 30 ml)
- No Lemon Juice? Use Lime Juice (Sharper, different aroma)
- No Grenadine? Use Raspberry Syrup (Berry instead of pomegranate)
- No Egg White? Use Aquafaba (Chickpea Water) (Chickpea water: same foam and vegan. Use the same amount)
