Queen Elizabeth, who died in September 2022, and her late mother Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, were united in their love for the same cocktail.<\/p>\n

Etiquette expert William Hanson explained how to make the “perfect” version of this alcoholic beverage.<\/p>\n
He said on his podcast Help I Sexted My Boss: “Here\u2019s how to make the perfect gin and dubonnet – a very royal drink favoured by the late Queen Mother and also Queen Elizabeth.<\/p>\n

Give it a bit of a slush around to mix it and enjoy!”<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/14\/590x\/secondary\/The-cocktail-is-very-alcoholic-4884520.jpg?r=1690811615408\")
