Pink Gin
This is a cocktail that likes dilution, hence the shot of water in my recipe. And, a spoon full (or ½ spoon) of sugar certainly helps the medicine go...

Curious story re the titling, as I was introduced to ‘pink gin’ I would say around year 2000 (but hard to recollect exactly) by a bartender at the Australian National University, Canberra. It was a pink G&T as described above. The bartender was an Englishman who had previously worked in some old former colonial outpost such as Singapore or Hong Kong, and recounted his customers rolling up after work to order “a laaarge pink gin”!

Interesting. I always had it without any sugar. The little drop adds a roundness to it (as one would expect).
