It’s hard to think of the pink lady as a “serious” cocktail. Its name is nothing but frivolous, and its rosy color is hardly suggestive of a strong drink. However, what most people fail to note is that this deceptively demure cocktail can pack quite a strong punch.

We thought that the pink lady’s rosy hue makes it a fitting drink for the month of love, so we chatted with Kat Nantes of Paire Cocktails and Pastries in order to know more about this classic girl’s drink. Find out what she has to say by scrolling through the gallery below.

Paire Cocktails and Pastries is located at the ground floor of Cocoon Hotel, Sct. Tobias cor. Sct. Rallos streets, Quezon City. Call 579-1554 or email hello@paire.ph for more information.
