History[edit | edit source]
The Pink Lady is believed to have been created in the early 20th century, during the Prohibition era in the United States. The cocktail's sweet and fruity flavors were designed to mask the taste of the poor-quality alcohol that was commonly available at the time. The Pink Lady was particularly popular among women, who were drawn to its feminine color and delicate flavor.

There are several variations of the Pink Lady, including the White Lady and the Blue Lady. These cocktails are similar in composition to the Pink Lady, but they use different ingredients to achieve their distinctive colors.
Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]
