The Queen Elizabeth cocktail is one of the elegant cocktails dedicated to the British royal family. This drink emerged in British bar culture in the mid-20th century and was named after Queen Elizabeth II. Dubonnet, which is frequently used in the aperitif tradition of the British, is also known as one of the favorite drinks of the royal family.

Dubonnet is actually a wine-based aperitif with herbal flavors. When combined with gin and Benedictine, the result is a very elegant and aromatic drink. This combination represents the balanced and light cocktail style often used in British bar culture.

“True elegance lies not in ostentation but in simplicity.”

The Queen Elizabeth cocktail is a drink with character, not flamboyance. Like the royal figure for which it is named, it has a simple elegance. Although not so common today, it is still prepared by classic cocktail enthusiasts and bartenders who love historical recipes.

Bartender Tips

🍸

Using an aromatic gin makes the character of the cocktail more pronounced.

🍷

Once opened, the Dubonnet should be stored in the refrigerator - otherwise the aroma will quickly weaken.

🍋

Rubbing lemon peel into the glass makes the cocktail's scent more vibrant.
