For an even prettier pink, and a diffferent, anise-accented flavor profile, substitute Peychaud's for Angostura.

I agree, definitely ! It was HRM the Queen Mother favourite and she knew how to drink...

gia

An episode of Poirot turned me onto this classic. I keep revisiting it (the episode and the drink)!

I was introduced to this is South Africa. No doubt a (good) remnant of colonial times. It's been my "go-to" gin cocktail ever since.

Here in England this is usually made with Plymouth gin, not London dry.
