Dubonnet Cocktail Recipe
Hosting a dinner but can’t make up your mind on what to serve as an aperitif? Well, let the worry whisk away with the tangy aroma of a Dubonnet cocktail! It is considered as one of the best aperitifs you can serve. Dubonnet has been a favourite cocktail to serve with dinners because of the rich versatility it promises in terms of taste, stimulating flavour and the distinctive scent, which ensures your senses are refreshed while your stomach gets full. A favourite beverage of the French Legion, Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Mother of Queen and Queen Elizabeth II also liked Dubbonet and Gin before lunch. Although, originally an un-garnished cocktail since as far back as the 1930’s, now the Dubonnet Cocktail is served with either lemon or an orange peel to add a little piquant taste that envelopes the taste buds of the drinker in a subtle embrace, while the rich ruby color that is the drink’s pride makes it a treat to the eyes on candle-lit dinners. Drink Zaza (another name for Dubonnet cocktail) and bask in the affluent vintage glory that the cocktail’s history takes pride in.
