Cocktail Description
A blushing beauty with bite, the Pink Gin Twist transforms the classic pink gin into something altogether more vibrant and complex.
This elegant cocktail delivers a perfect balance of botanical sharpness from the London Dry gin, bright citrus acidity from fresh pink grapefruit, and subtle pomegranate sweetness from quality grenadine. The fine strain creates a silky-smooth texture that belies its potent nature, while the expressed oils from the lemon twist add an aromatic dimension that dances above the glass. Perfect for sophisticated spring gatherings or summer sunset celebrations, it's equally at home at a dinner party or as an aperitif before a night out. Thankfully, despite its refined appearance, this cocktail is surprisingly simple to prepare—just three quality ingredients shaken properly and strained into a chilled martini glass. The Pink Gin Twist pairs beautifully with seafood appetizers, particularly smoked salmon canapés or shrimp cocktail, where its citrus notes cut through richness while its subtle sweetness complements the natural flavors of the sea.
