El Dubonnet Cocktail es un clásico cóctel estilo aperitivo que combina Dubonnet Rouge, un vino quinquina francés, con gin, un toque de bitters y una espiral de limón. Es un cóctel de bajo a moderado ABV orientado al vino con un agradable carácter agridulce y herbal. Se dice que la bebida es una de las favoritas de la familia real británica.
History & Origins
Dubonnet was created in 1846 by chemist Joseph Dubonnet in Paris as a means of making quinine more palatable for French Foreign Legion soldiers stationed in North Africa. The Dubonnet Cocktail as a gin-based mixed drink became popular in the early 20th century, particularly in Britain, where Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother was famously fond of it. Its precise formulation is disputed across bartending literature.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: dark berry and wine aromas from the Dubonnet Rouge with juniper from the gin and a spiced, herbal note from the bitters. Palate: bittersweet and wine-forward with a dried cherry and quinine character, underscored by the gin's botanicals. Finish: pleasantly bitter, herbal, and dry with a lingering citrus note from the lemon peel.
Pro Tip
Use equal parts Dubonnet and gin for the traditional ratio, and twist a fresh lemon peel directly over the glass before dropping it in to release the aromatic oils onto the surface.
