Pink Gin

[Khandro]

Is anyone a fan, I don't mean the stuff marketed as such in bottles?

And btw what happened to shootta who was good on obscure drinks?

How else do buy it?

You put a few drops of Robinson's summer fruits cordial in the bottle John, anything vaguely red will do though as the gin is so foul no-one drinks it.

I hate pink gin with a passion. I am slowly going off all kinds of flavoured Artisan gins.

I like good decent clear dry gin. I got The Botanist and Opihr for my birthday. I have a little bit of Tanquery Flor de Sevilla left but I'm struggling to drink the remainder.

Proper pink gin is amazing not the terrible stuff you get in bottles

Pink gin is gin with a dash of angostura bitters - used to be popular in the 70s. I`m not a fan of gin but a friend bought some of a branded pink gin and even she couldn't drink it and she loves gin.

It's angostura bitters, a few drops in a cocktail glass swirled around just to coat the inside & any residue dumped, gin added & zest of lemon. Water & ice optional.
Nothing to do with those bottled concoctions.

Angostura (from the bark of a tree) was discovered to prevent sea-sickness, the Royal Navy took it up but mariners preferred it with gin - of course. It has always been associated with the navy, nothing girlie about it at all.
