Pink Gin Cooler

A wonderful summer libation, combining gin and lemonade.  The ‘pink’ comes from the addition of Peychaud’s bitters.

2 oz Catoctin Creek Watershed Gin
½ oz dry vermouth
3 dashes Peychaud’s bitters (you can substitute Angostura, but I prefer Peychaud’s)
2 oz lemonade (if you aren’t making it from scratch, I highly recommend Simply Lemonade®)
Splash of branch water or soda

This goes well in either a highball glass or 6 oz tumbler. Mix bitters, gin and vermouth. Add ice cubes and swirl. Add 2 oz lemonade and a splash of either water or soda, depending on your preference.

Swirl again and enjoy a true summer refreshment!
