  • Dubonnet – Happy 90Th Birthday, and World
    Pick your Poison: Gin & Dubonnet – Happy 90th Birthday, and World Gin Day, your Majesty! Pick your Poison: Gin & Dubonnet Happy 90th Birthday, and World Gin Day, your Majesty! “Let us not take ourselves too seriously. None of us has a monopoly on wisdom”. Queen Elizabeth II Her Majesty the Queen is 90 years old today and, to top off an already EPIC day, it is also World Gin Day!!! For me, this is even more exciting than Christmas and my birthday! In celebration of this momentous day, I have made our Liz’s tipple of choice and, funnily enough, it contains Gin! How good is that?! Lizzie is such a trendsetter, she was in on this Gin revolution long before any of us mere mortals were. It’s a simple drink – Gin & Dubonnet – but a great one, and The Queen is said to have one very day before Lunch. Technically, by drinking one of these every day, The Queen has over the recommended weekly allowance for alcohol here in the UK. She is now my hero, and has had a Gin every day and made it to 90 years old. I told you all Gin is medicinal… So, without further ado, here is the recipe for Gin & Dubonnet. Ingredients 25ml Gin (I used Silent Pool Gin) 50ml Dubonnet (Dubonnet is a type of Fortified Wine. It has Cherry, Qunine, Citrus and Toffee notes in it and, to me, this drink tastes a little bit like a spin on a Sangria!) A slice of Lemon Ice Method 1. Place the Gin and Dubonnet in a Cocktail shaker.

In "Bringing It Back Bar," we shine a light on overlooked bottles and devise recipes to take them from back bar to front shelf. Up now: the French quinquina wine, Byrrh. MAY 10, 2016 story: PUNCH STAFF photo: ASTOR WINE & SPIRITS s trends in bartending come and go, so, too, do waves of popular spirits; and, in keeping A with the interests of today’s bartenders, the past decade has seen more than a handful of pre-Prohibition liqueurs re-emerge on scene. Among them is Byrrh, a 150-year-old aromatized wine often drunk straight as an aperitif, the latest Old World bottle to undergo New World treatment. First produced in France in 1866 by brothers Pallade and Simon Violet, Byrrh was originally marketed as a health tonic, a clever conceit that took the fortified wine out of competition with existing French aperitifs. In fact, the wine—a blend of carignan and grenache mistelle, dry red wine from Rousillon and spices (among them, orange and coffee)—had a distinctly http://punchdrink.com/articles/bringing-it-back-bar-byrrh-cocktails-recipes/ 8/23/2016 PUNCH | Bringing it Back Bar: What to Do with Byrrh Page 2 of 5 pharmaceutical bend in its inclusion of cinchona bark; with its bitter flavors of quinine, cinchona was, at the time, considered to be solely medicinal, earning Byrrh a restorative reputation on both sides of the Atlantic.

According to historians, a bartender at London’s Brook’s Club decided that Champagne also should mourn, and paired it with Guinness stout to make a Black Velvet. 4 CHAMPAGNE & SPARKLING COCKTAILS Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial 125ml £11 Bottle £65 Three years ageing result in a Champagne with body, flavour and harmony. Elements of lime and blossom on the nose. Medium bodied palate, elegant finish. Moët & Chandon Rosé Impérial 125ml £12.75 Bottle £75 Lively and expressive nose dominated by the scent of wild strawberries. Full-bodied, zestful, assertive and fruity on the palate. Classic Champagne Cocktail £13.50 A timeless classic where bitter meets sweet. The bubbles help carry the bitters through brown sugar, releasing soft and pleasing aromas. Hennessy Fine Cognac, Angostura Bitters, brown sugar, Moët & Chandon Champagne Rally Fizz £11.20 The floral and sweet attributes of Prosecco are emphasized with the inclusion of gin and elderflower liqueur. They in turn are balanced out with a little lemon juice. Together they create a fresh crisp drink perfect for warmer seasons. Prosecco, Hendrick’s Gin, elderflower liqueur, lemon A Night in Paris £12 Dubonnet was first created in 1846 in response to a competition run by the French government to find a way of persuading French Foreign Legionnaires in North Africa to drink quinine to combat malaria.
