J’s NOTES:

Plymouth Gin is said to be ideal as it is fruitier. Pink gin is a cocktail made

fashionable in England in the mid-19th century, consisting of Plymouth gin and

a dash of Angostura bitters, a dark red bitters that makes the whole drink pink.

Lemon rind is used as a garnish, with the citrus essential oils complementing the

flavor. Pink gin is widely thought to have been created by members of the Royal

Navy. Plymouth gin is a ‘sweet’ gin, as opposed to London gin which is ‘dry’, and

was added to Angostura bitters to make the consumption of Angostura bitters

more enjoyable as they were used as a treatment for sea sickness in 1824 by

Dr. Johann Gottlieb Benjamin Siegert. Cheers!
