For those seeking to elevate the Pink Whitney cocktail’s flavor profile, consider incorporating a few dashes of lemon or orange bitters.
The addition of bitter citrus notes will complement the pink lemonade flavor of the Pink Whitney, providing a well-balanced and enhanced taste to the overall cocktail.
Alternatively, you can take another large piece of lemon peel, separate from the long strip used for the garnish, and squeeze it over the drink just before serving.
This will release an additional burst of lemon aroma, further enhancing the drink’s taste. Buon appetito!
