There is nothing undrinkable about pure ethanol.

Only a desperate alcoholic would drink pure ethanol.

Bull****. That is all vodka is with water added.

Even gin doesn’t have much more added.

both of which are generally undrinkable without the "mixer"

Bull****. Pink gin has no mixer.

what do you think the "pink" is?

Its not a mixer, its bitters and when its 'out', all that is done
with it is swirled around the glass and chucked away.

But According to your own link, the object of the exercise
was to make the consumption of the Angustura bitters more
enjoyable

Plymouth gin is a 'sweet' gin, as opposed to London gin which
is 'dry', and was added to Angostura bitters to make the
consumption of Angostura bitters more enjoyable.[2]

Now whether that's a load of old ******** or not I really
don't know.

But according to your very own link - rather than pink gin
being gin with an angostura bitters mixer, it is in fact
angustora bitters with a gin mixer.

ngostura bitters were used as a treatment for sea sickness in 1824
by Dr. Johann Gottlieb Benjamin Siegert (though they were used for
other medicinal purposes long before this),[3] who subsequently
formed the House of Angostura, a company selling the bitters
to sailors.
