Experience the Rich Flavors of the Dubonnet Royal Cocktail
Looking for a cocktail that oozes sophistication and elegance? Look no further than the Dubonnet Royal. This delightful drink combines the rich flavors of Dubonnet Rouge, a red wine-based aperitif, with the herbal notes of gin and the effervescence of champagne. Whether you're hosting a fancy party or simply looking to unwind after a long day, the Dubonnet Royal is sure to impress your taste buds.
To create this exquisite cocktail, you'll need a few key ingredients. Start by pouring 1.5 ounces of Dubonnet Rouge into a glass filled with ice. Next, add 1 ounce of your favorite gin. This will provide a smooth and aromatic base for the cocktail. Finally, top it off with 3 ounces of chilled champagne to add a touch of sparkle and lightness.
Once you have all the ingredients in the glass, gently stir to combine them. You want to mix everything together without agitating the champagne too much and losing its bubbles.

Now it's time to enjoy your creation. Sip on the Dubonnet Royal and savor the layers of flavors as they unfold. The Dubonnet Rouge adds a deep and slightly sweet profile, while the gin adds a botanical complexity. The champagne elevates the drink, creating a refreshing and effervescent finish.

Dubonnet Royal Cocktail: A Classic French Apéritif
If you're looking for a sophisticated and refreshing cocktail to enjoy before dinner, look no further than the Dubonnet Royal. This classic French apéritif has been a favorite among royalty and discerning drinkers for over a century.
Origins of the Dubonnet Royal
The story of the Dubonnet Royal dates back to 1846 when Joseph Dubonnet, a Parisian chemist, created his eponymous fortified wine. The recipe was inspired by quinine-based tonic wines that were used as malaria prevention in colonial Africa. However, instead of being bitter like traditional tonics, Dubonnet's creation was sweetened with herbs and spices to create a more palatable drink.
In 1912, King Edward VII of England famously declared that "Dubo" (as he affectionately called it) was his favorite tipple. This royal endorsement helped catapult Dubonnet into the spotlight and solidify its status as an iconic apéritif.
