QUEEN ELIZABETH II
Gin and Dubonnet cocktail
To the taste of Queen Elizabeth II
Ingredients:
25ml Silk Route Spirits signature gin

Half a lemon slice
2 large ice cubes
Method:
Add both the spirits: gin first, followed by Dubonnet, shake over ice to chill, stir, strain and pour, then serve with ice and a slice of lemon.
Traditionally the Queen would be served this in a small wine glass, but it tastes equally as good in a gin glass.
