This is a variation on the classics Pink Lady and White Lady, calling for green Chartreuse instead of Cointreau or apple brandy. The secret is using fresh egg whites to create a lovely froth. When working with egg whites, be sure to first do a "dry shake" without ice, to better incorporate the whites with the other ingredients.
This recipe is featured in the accompanying 5-Bottle Bar package.
Use a pasteurized egg white if you are concerned about eating uncooked eggs (see NOTE).
