Description
Dubonnet Rouge is a wine-based aperitif developed in Paris in 1846 by Joseph Dubonnet and is similar to Vermouth.
Dubonnet Rouge is made by fermenting wine in combination with cinchona bark and a selection of other herbs. Fermentation is eventually stopped by adding alcohol, which helps stabilize and maintain the desired flavor profile.
Dubonnet was a major ingredient in the favorite drink of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain. The Queen mixes Dubonnet with at least one-third Gordon’s Gin and adds half a lemon wedge, as well as two ice cubes, to enjoy a refreshing and aromatic drink.
