Pink Gin Fizz Variation
The Pink Gin Fizz Variation is a refreshing, effervescent cocktail that builds on the classic Gin Fizz, typically featuring pink gin, citrus juice (like lemon or grapefruit), a sweetener, and a top of soda water, often garnished with a citrus twist or edible flower. It's a modern, visually appealing twist on a pre-Prohibition American cocktail, popular in contemporary bars and home mixology.
