How to Make a Pink Gin Cocktail
Discovered in the United Kingdom in the 19th century, Pink Gin Cocktail is an invigorating gin based drink. This colorless alcoholic beverage is super easy to prepare as you just have to mix Plymouth gin and a few drops of Angostura bitters. You can bring variation in the flavor of this distilled drink by adding in zest of angelica root, caraway seeds, and anise. A Pink Gin Cocktail is traditionally decorated with fresh lemon rind.
The interesting history behind this unique cocktail shows that it was first prepared by members of the Royal Navy. Since then Pink Gin Cocktail is a classical British way of enjoying a gin, an alcoholic spirit refined from malt or grain and tanged with juniper berries. It is also referred as Gin and Bitters.
In order to enhance the presentation of your Pink Gin Cocktail, you can serve it in unusually shaped cocktail glasses. In addition to that, colorful decorations like embellished straws etc can also be added to the drink to make it a better turn-out.
