NOTES
Some classic versions call for equal amounts of gin and Dubonnet.
The Dubonnet Cocktail is a timeless aperitif that pairs the rich, spiced fruitiness of Dubonnet Rouge with the crisp bite of gin. A dash of orange bitters adds brightness, while a lemon twist garnish ties everything together for a smooth, balanced sip with a touch of old-world elegance.
