Don’t Thistle My Pink
A Great Gin from the Land of Single Malts

This cocktail was the winner of the Garden Party Cocktail Competition in Edinburgh. It’s a complex drink with a great contrast between the floral Caorunn gin and the bite of the whisky.
Gin tends to be a summer drink in my household, but this has changed my mind. The thistle gives it the last of winter, and the pink enables us to get a jump on summer.
A really cool thing at the Caorunn you can email this image and recipe to a friend. It’s all set up and easy to do–your name, their email address. Could be fun.
