About
Pink Gin has its origins in the British Royal Navy, where it was traditionally consumed by sailors to treat digestive problems and gastrointestinal disorders. At the time, British sailors were regularly exposed to harsh conditions at sea, and gin was used as a remedy for various ailments, particularly thanks to the medicinal properties of angostura, a bitter tree bark used to create bitters.
