Pink cocktail: born in the second half of the 19th #century it become really popular in the #royal #navy . It born as a #medicine , #angostura was used to #cure and prevent #malaria but mixed with gin it soon became a pupular #drink . It's considered to be the driest #cocktail because of it's ingredients: gin and angostura #bitter only. Because of the cocktail #history I decided to use a #navy gin; the #best choice could be the #Plymouth navy strength gin, which was specifically #distilled for the royal navy, but I decided to use some #haymans royal dock, which was the gin of the navy officers, so I'm probably not that far from the #original #one. 4 dashes of angostura for every #ounce of gin, and here you go, an #amazing #super strong cocktail, I personally think it could be an amazing #aperitivo instead of a #martini . #ginstagram #ilovegin #ginteresting #ginoclock #pink (presso Milan, Italy)
