White Dragon

At first glance, the White Dragon might resemble a twist on the Margarita, but its true inspiration comes from a different classic—the White Lady. This elegant cocktail swaps gin for tequila while keeping the other key elements intact. The agave spirit is shaken with orange liqueur, lemon juice, and egg white, creating a smooth, citrus-forward drink with a beautifully frothy texture. Unlike lime, which can be overly sharp, lemon juice provides a more balanced acidity that complements the tequila without overpowering it. The combination of bright citrus, rich orange liqueur, and velvety egg white eliminates the need for additional sweeteners, allowing the tequila’s natural complexity to shine. The result is a refined yet approachable cocktail that offers a fresh take on a timeless classic.
