"Pink Lady (cocktail) The Pink Lady is a classic gin-based cocktail with a long history. Its pink color is due to adding grenadine. The exact ingredients for the pink lady vary, but all variations have the use of gin, grenadine and egg white in common. In its most basic form the pink lady consists of just these three ingredients. According to the ""Royal Cafe Cocktail Book"" of 1937, it is made with a glass of gin, a tablespoon of grenadine and the white of one egg, shaken and strained into a glass. Often lemon juice is added to the basic"

Less widely known than the margarita, its structure is similarly simple, with three primary ingredients: silver or ""blanco"" tequila, pineapple juice, and lime juice.

Matadors are often presented differently, either in a martini glass or a champagne flute. The cocktail combines three Mexican exports: tequila, pineapple and lime.
