Since the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, searches for Her Majesty’s favourite drink, the Dubonnet Rouge cocktail, have unsurprisingly increased by 190 percent. This is according to drinks experts from Drinks House 247.
The experts told Express.co.uk that the ingredients for the Dubonnet cocktail have sold out in major UK supermarkets since Her Majesty’s death.
They said: “The red-wined based beverage that has a mix of herbs, spices, black currant, tea, and quinine sweetened by cane sugar has sold out in most major stores in the UK, including Tesco, Amazon UK, and Waitrose.”
How did the Queen enjoy her Dubonnet drink?
The experts continued: “The Queen famously enjoyed drinking Dubonnet in a cocktail of one-third London dry gin to two-thirds Dubonnet, just as Robert Lange of the Royal Cellars explained in a 2007 BBC documentary.”
These experts have explained the best substitutions to use when Dubonnet Rouge is out of stock.
Vermouth
The Drinks House 247 experts said: “The best substitution overall is Vermouth, especially in mixed drinks.
“Much like Dubonnet, Vermouth is a fortified wine flavoured with herbs and spices.
“Experts say that Vermouth is less sweet, but still pairs great with gin, if you want to replicate Her Majesty’s favourite drink.”
DON’T MISS:
Amaro
The drinks experts commented: “Amaro is a great option if you are replacing Dubonnet as an aperitif, which if you are unfamiliar, is a beverage typically enjoyed before a meal.
“Experts say that it’s best enjoyed over ice or with soda.
“Amaro tends to be a bit more bitter, so adding a slice of lemon can help counteract the bitterness and bring a full-bodied enjoyment to your beverage.”
