The Platinum Jubilee Cocktail

The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June 2022

Why Queen Elizabeth II is so special?

Her extraordinary reign has seen her travel more widely than any other monarch, undertaking many historic overseas visits. Known for her sense of duty and her devotion to a life of service, she has been an important figurehead for the UK and the Commonwealth during times of enormous social change.

INGREDIENTS

1 part Dubonnet (available in Waitrose)
1 part Thames Ditton Gin
One lemon wedge
Two ice cubes or one large ice cube

RECIPE PREPARATION

Dubonnet has always been seen as the expression of a tradition and a French art de vivre admired the world over. Naturally flavoured by plants and spices, this elegant wine-based aperitif from France is patiently aged in oak barrels in cool, dark cellars.

The Queen is said to take a drink of Gin & Dubonnet everyday as her aperitif.

Pour the gin over ice add the same amount of Dubonnet and garnish with a lemon wedge!
