My new favorite cocktail is very simple: pour some bourbon in a rocks glass (like the stuff my husband buys for me that I don't really like), add ice and a few drops of bitters. Stir and drink. It's quite tasty!

Agreed.
Why not add some sweet vermouth and cruise your way into Manhattan?
I could and do sometimes. But this one is the essence of simplicity.
That is like a Pink Lady made with bourbon instead of gin.

I think a Pink Lady is grenadine and gin (egg white etc.., lemon variations, fizzes etc...). Angosutra bitters and gin is a "Pink Gin" cocktail, a crazy concoction done originally with Plymouth and bitters.Quote:

I remember the first time I had pink gin...

ok I take that back I really don't it was kind of a blur. :)
there is nothing that makes a good drink better sometimes than a dash of bitters. Bitters... the spice of cocktail seasoning!
I love orange bitters in my bourbon too!
Cheers!
I'm kind of fond of the old-style mist, too: shake briefly with ice, pour, garnish with a cherry.
I can't think of a better use for Rebel Reserve :grin:
