Pink Gin

I purchased a bottle of Seagram's Dry Gin today to drink the first Salty Dog of the season, and as it turns out, I just so happen to have the ingredients available to make most of the Gin drinks in the book. So the first, and probably the simplest of them is Pink Gin

Pink Gin obviously gets its name because when you add the drops of bitters into the gin, it produces a faint peachy pink color, any stronger of a color and you probably added too much bitters.

I can see why this drink is lost to most of humanity, as it lacks everything people seem to want in a drink these days. Hidden alcohol, fruitiness, and some sort of trendy name tacked on to a drink that includes nothing of the original recipe are nowhere to be found.

Pink Gin tastes exactly as it name implies--like pink gin. Actually, the dash of bitters goes a long way in influencing the flavor of the drink. I never thought I could stomach a drink of mostly 99.7% gin, but sure enough I did, in fact, I found it enjoyable.
