Head to head
Cosmonaut and White Lady side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference
Gin and lemon in both. The White Lady sweetens them with triple sec; the Cosmonaut with nothing but a spoonful of raspberry jam, so it is tarter and less sweet.
By the numbers
The Cosmonaut uses raspberry jam where the White Lady uses triple sec; both have gin and lemon juice. In parts, a Cosmonaut is 2¾ gin, 1 lemon and ¾ raspberry jam; a White Lady is 2 gin, 1½ triple sec and 1 lemon. By volume, the Cosmonaut is 61% spirit, 23% citrus and 16% syrup and sugar; the White Lady is 45% spirit, 33% liqueur and 22% citrus.
The White Lady is the stronger drink in the glass (17.8% ABV against 16.1%) and holds more alcohol (1.58 standard drinks against 1.35). The White Lady has more calories (about 189 against 165) and more sugar (8.0 g against 5.4 g). Both are shaken and served in a coupe.
