History

The ratio of bitters to sugar is crucial for this cocktail's success. Use a Japanese dasher bottle and measure the 2:1 sugar syrup carefully for a special result. Be sparing when spraying lemon zest over the drink; excessive lemon oil will spoil its delicate balance.

The name of this vintage take on a Pink Gin cocktail is pronounced 'Gin Fight' in Malay, as "pahit" translates to "bitter."
