1st #cocktail of the #PlatinumJubilee on the 3rd June: Dubonnet Red and Gin

To get us started on the Platinum Jubilee we start with a Dubonnet and Gin, a favourite of the Queen Mother and reputed to be the Queen’s favourite cocktail, of which she partakes before lunch. Whether this is true or not, it is a tasty cocktail which we’re opting to have now. It’s a bank holiday today and we have typical bak holiday weather; a bit cold and wet, so hopefully this will help brighten the day.
