Dubonnet Red
French aperitif based on wines from the Roussillon area in the South of France, infused with a variety of herbs and spices. The blend is oak-aged for three years before bottling. The word "Dubonnet" comes from the French word for "dark brown", which is a reference to the dark colour of the original recipe. Dubonnet was created in 1846 by Joseph Dubonnet, a French chemist. Joseph Dubonnet`s original recipe used quinine, which was added for its medicinal properties. The quinine gave Dubonnet its distinctive bitter flavour, which many people enjoy today. Dubonnet was said to be the late Queen Mother`s favourite tipple.
