Pink Gin Cocktail

2 1/2oz London dry gin
3 dashes Angostura bitters
Shake over ice and strain into cocktail glass.

The complexity in this drink took me surprise - I was expecting a good cocktail and wound up with a great one! The comparison to tempranillo I feel is most appropriate in terms of the earthy components that wine possesses, not so much the fruit notes.

This one is too simple to not try for yourself ASAP!
