History

This 'Lady' is high maintenance but delivers complex rewards.

This drink originated in 2008, created by Ben Carlotto at The Voodoo Rooms, Edinburgh, Scotland. The original formulation called for a homemade dry orange syrup. This syrup was prepared by macerating orange zests in a mix of sugars, Lillet Blanc, and fino sherry. Additionally, the recipe specified homemade citrus bitters, a complex blend featuring kaffir lime leaves, various citrus elements, and spices such as cardamom and cassia.
