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. Jules brings us The Pink Fizz. 

The Pink Lady
In your Boston Shaker add: 
Egg white
½ oz Laird’s Apple Brandy 
1.5 oz Plymouth Gin
¾ oz Lemon Juice
¾ oz Acacia Honey Syrup (any light honey syrup will do)
¼ oz Grenadine
Dry shake… hard (30 seconds later)
Add ice and shake again (20 seconds)
Pour over ice in your double rocks glass
Garnish with 3 cherries on a pick (I used brandied) 

How to make Acacia Honey Syrup
2 parts honey, 1 part warm water - in a jar, shake until incorporated

The Pink Fizz:
In your Boston Shaker add:
1 egg white
1.5 oz gin, or gin alternative
½ oz Apple brandy, or n/a apple cider*
¾ oz lemon juice
¾ oz hibiscus syrup
½ oz grenadine
Dry shake… really hard (30 seconds)
Add Ice… shake hard again (20 seconds)
In a tall Collins glass, pour approx. 1 oz club soda on the bottom, strain cocktail over the club soda and top with approx. 2oz club soda on top.
Can garnish with cherries on a cocktail pick!
