The Bitter Truth
Pink Gin
Specification
Bottle — 700 ml
Juniper first, then the bitter edge the name promises: gentian-like root, dried peel, a dry spice finish. The pink comes through as cranberry-tart red fruit rather than sweetness, and at 40% it stays lean and clipped, more aperitif than dessert.
Serve — suggested, not sourced
Tonic — Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water, 1:2 — plain tonic lets the bitter side speak; flavoured tonic buries it
Garnish — Grapefruit twist
Pink Gin
gin · angostura bitters
Glass rinsed with bitters, cold gin poured in, served up.
Why this gin — The bottle is built around the bitters-and-gin idea, so it makes the drink it's named for without reaching for a dasher bottle.
