We know that gin + bitters = pink gin.
What then does it equal when you add a splash of red vermouth to the shaker? The taste is lightly sweet, and for lack of a better descriptive, mystic. It's delicious.
There has to be a name for it

I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I believe that cocktail is called Artillery.
The man who intoxicates himself on bad whisky is sometimes moved to kill his wife and set his house on fire, but the victim of applejack is capable of blowing up a whole town with dynamite and of reciting original poetry to every surviving inhabitant.

Perhaps a sweet pink Martini?
Klingon Blood Martini has a better ring.
This reminds me of something I was reading today about Red Lemonade, a soda pop popular in Ireland. We had a similar libation when I was a kid in the midwest, around Halloween, called Witches Brew in 2 liter bottles. This was good, early practice for keeping pace with my future drinking peers. It's as if I'd been training my entire life.

Nice av, Replicant.
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
Time to die.
Lovely scene.

Man, I saw that as a kid after obsessing over Star Wars for about ten years.

I didn't fight a secret war in Nicaragua so you could walk these streets of freedom badmouthing Lady America, in your damn mirrored sunglasses!
