Pink Joy

Just get some cream, grenadine, egg white, and dry gin.
A cocktail shaker with cracked ice is where they go in.
Strain that concoction into a stemmed glass.
There you have a drink with a lot of class.

The name may come from a Broadway musical.
That musical was written by Ivan Caryll.
Other stories of its origin continue to exist.
It’s another cocktail that comprises a long list.
The drink is an old one that maintains popularity.
This cocktail is known as a “Pink Lady”.

by the way, where is Five Guys? I love that place. We went last month and they gave Joe a five guys hat. I ADORE those fries they have and I eat the whole sackful. that is why I go there only a few times a year. Otherwise I'd turn into a giant french fry!

The first one opened in Washington, DC, and they have been proliferating throughout Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and possibly New York. If you're in one of the Mid-Atlantic states, chances are there's one nearby.

Hey, Robert. Pink Joy is a good name for Pink Lady, I am sure (even though I don't drink!) It sounds like the kind of drink I'd have if I allowed myself!!
