Dubonet & Gin Cocktail Recipe
It was widely speculated by those within the royal circle that the late Queen Elizabeth II was partial to the often overlooked drink Dubbonet, which was first marketed back in 1846, when the British monarch was just 9 years into her almost 64-year reign.
This sweet, aromatised wine-based quinquina is often enjoyed as an aperitif, but can also be consumed in the form of a gin-based cocktail, which was apparently the preferred tipple of the late Queen Elizabeth. Serve today to ensure a party of royal quality!
