Pink Gin has an interesting history

A drink called Pink Gin was popular in the mid-1800s.  The British Navy gets credit for its creation.  Angostura bitters was said to combat seasickness.  So, gin was added to make the bitters more palatable.  The Angostura bitters give the drink a pinkish hue.  Gin and tonic also has a medicinal pedigree, the gin being added to quinine, which was taken to combat malaria.  Both drinks soon became a part of the national drinking culture in the U.K.

Bosford’s Rose Gin doesn’t promise to cure anything except how to make a gin-based cocktail that tastes even better.  Two of the simplest and prettiest recipes below speak to the allure of the “pink wave” that continues to envelope the summer cocktail scene for millennials and everyone else.
