New favorite cocktail

[bonneamie]

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!

[SBOmarc]

Agreed.

Why not add some sweet vermouth and cruise your way into Manhattan?

[bonneamie]

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.

Pink gin is..... one of those real out there drinks I must say...

I am sorry, you are correct. Pink Gin is what I meant, but I definitely said the wrong thing. At my age...

Good to hear the re-discovery of the oldest form of whiskey cocktail probably: whiskey-and-bitters. Sometimes sugar is added, but that's always optional. It is indeed a classic, I made one tonight inspired by this thread.

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
