Pink gin started out life as a sea farers breakfast, drank to rally a man against the wiles of the ocean, but now it’s had a modern make over by The Bitter Truth. It begins with a Mediterranean bouquet on the nose, with juniper, lemons and warm spices. Wonderfully calm in the mouth, juniper is still at the helm but it is supported by a crew of fresh spiced flavors like licorice, caraway and fennel which cruise to a smooth whirlpool finish. This minx is not just a common gin with a fake tan; it’s a sophisticated metro sexual in a salmon jumper. The tradition of blending gin and bitters was first established by members of the Royal Navy to cure sea sickness. The Bitter Truth Pink Gin is a delicious blend of traditionally crafted gin and aromatic bitters. It is designed to please modern tastes with a soft and gentle mouth feel and fine complex flavors. It is best used on its own, as a Gin & Tonic or in your favorite Martini Cocktail.
