History

A very different "Lady" to the White Lady, this is a riff on a Naked & Famous with falernum replacing Yellow Chartreuse. If using a full-flavoured falernum, additional spice from chili bitters may not be desired.

This recipe was adapted from a 2016 creation by Grant Wheeler, who was the Beverage Director at The Garret in New York City, USA, at the time.
