The tradition of blending gin and bitters was first established by members of the Royal Navy to cure seasickness, and Pink Gin started life as a seafarers breakfast, drunk to rally a man against the wiles of the ocean. The Bitter Truth Pink Gin is a delicious blend of traditionally crafted gin and a blend of bitters.

Using a Mediterranean botanical mix, this gin opens with juniper, lemon, 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. It is designed to please modern tastes with a soft and gentle mouth feel and fine complex flavors.

As pink gin is itself a cocktail, this liqueur can be served neat or on the rocks after a quick stir with ice and garnished with a lemon peel. In addition, any drink that calls for gin and bitters, or just gin can benefit from the addition of this carefully chosen mix of both bitters and gin spices and botanicals.

About The Bitter Truth:

Munich bartenders Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck were already experienced in making handmade bitters at the bars they worked at when they decided to produce cocktail bitters to supply the burgeoning revival of historical and craft cocktails. Stephan owned a large collection of contemporary and historical bitters, some of which hadn’t been produced for decades. Thus he knew what the most well-known bitters of the world, past and present, tasted like and was considered a specialist in the area. Since 2006 The Bitter Truth has been producing bitters using the classic method of macerating roots, seeds, barks, fruits, herbs, and plants in an alcohol base. The design of the bitters bottle refers to old medicine bottles from the 19th century and the label was designed with old-fashioned floral ornaments reminiscent of the golden age of cocktails.
