Review:

As the name suggests, this refreshing and fruity long drink is both gin-laced and pink in colour. And yes, it's also fizzy. Well if not out and out fizzy, it is at least invigorated with sparkling water. So perhaps that's why merely fizz rather than fizzy?

I was using homemade grenadine and it didn't come out nearly as colourful as the picture (but even with something lurid, 7.5ml is not a lot so I doubt anyone will get much colour). It's a very pleasant summery drink though. Well balanced and slightly tart.
