Review:

The balance of bitters to sugar is key to the success of this cocktail. Use a Japanese dasher bitters bottle and measure your 2:1 sugar syrup judiciously and you'll have made something special. Go easy while spraying the lemon zest over the drink – too much lemon oil will wreck its fine balance.

History:

The name of this vintage variation on a Pink Gin cocktail is pronounced 'Gin Fight' in the Malay language ("pahit" means bitter).

Alcohol content:

  • 1.1 standard drinks
  • 24.3% alc./vol. (48.6° proof)
  • 15.9 grams of pure alcohol
