Gringa
0
A gin sour with egg white for a silky body. Crème de cacao and Ancho Reyes chile liqueur add chocolate and gentle heat, and candied ginger finishes it. Created by Craig Eliason in Saint Paul, Minnesota, in 2023.
Craig Eliason of Saint Paul, Minnesota, created the Gringa in 2023 for the Reddit Original Cocktail Competition in April, where the theme was gin and egg. Starting from the White Lady, the creator looked for a replacement for triple sec, and the lemon-and-chocolate pairing in the Twentieth Century cocktail pointed toward the spices of Mexican chocolate: cinnamon, chile and ginger. The name comes from asking what a White Lady would be called in Mexico.
