Ep. 60: Pink Lady - if you don’t drink pink, you stink.
For Valentines Day we are bringing you a cocktail from the golden era of cocktails, the Pink Lady. A once popular drink among men and women, but then pink became uncool for men. Foolishness! Brad takes us through the history of the Pink Lady, bathtub gin, and why pink became uncool. Of course, we get a fantastic Pink Lady cocktail recipe, taken from Death & Co.’s cocktail book.
