This expression from South Africa's Cape Town Gin & Spirits Co. has been named after the nickname for Mount Nelson Hotel - The Pink Lady. It features a decisively floral botanical selection, including rose petal, rosewater and hibiscus (alongside classic gin botanicals).
Citrus blossom, fresh juniper, royal icing and plenty of floral element throughout.
It was 2 weeks of vacation bliss infused with regular doses of pink gin & pink tonic. I had never heard of such a thing, and immediately I was in a trance. Who knew a gin & tonic could be improved upon, but there I was not 12 hours into our trip, and I had made a new friend. And now I'm positively hating life bc I didn't buy it while we were on vacation in So Africa. I wasn't sure how I'd get the smell of gin out of my clothes when the bottle would shatter in my suitcase after being jostled about for 18+ hours of flying. I also thought I could buy it in the USA. Wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Why Alcohol Control Board, why?
I tried this gin last week in the Table Bay Hotel Cape Town, it was smooth like drinking cream. I take my gin with a splash of beer, and the flavour remain obvious.
