Pink drinks are in vogue right now particularly with younger millennials and Gen-Z. Over the holiday, Instagram was flooded with eye-catching pink cocktails; fucsia, hot pink, rose, bubble gum and coral- any of the many shades of pink was the coveted colour of its young and hip imbimbers.  
The main difference between pink gin and normal gin is that normal gin is a distilled alcohol flavoured with juniper berries while pink gin is normal gin flavoured with angostura bitters.
Pink Gin is all the rage and is arguably becoming Nairobi's most popular cocktail base.
Beefeater pink gin & Gordon`s pink gin  are particularly popular in the Nairobi bar scene and with drink delivery services. A simple Google search will show you how high they rank.
Fancy a glass? Try it out at Nairobi's dedicated Gin bar at Honey & Dough. Or if you're creative enough, fix your own glass at home. Here's a popular pink gin drink you might want to try:
Pink Lady
This is the ultimate pink gin cocktail! The delightful blush-pink tipple has a lovely light, frothy texture and a little tart edge to cut through the sweetness. Ideal for a girls' night in or if you're a man and aren't too bugged by gender norms:
40ml gin
20ml lemon juice
10ml grenadine
1 egg white
1tsp cream
Combine your ingredients in an empty cocktail shaker and shake to emulsify the egg white. Then fill your shaker with ice and shake again. Serve in a martini glass.
