Origin story
The Pink Gin originated in the mid-19th century, primarily associated with British naval officers who would mix gin with Angostura bitters as a remedy for seasickness. Its name comes from the pink hue imparted by the bitters, and it became popular in British society as a simple yet effective cocktail.
