History
Adapted from a recipe created in 2014 by Jake Burger at The Portobello Star, London, England. Naturally, Jake's original recipe calls for Portobello Road Gin.
Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon (1900–2002), better known as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, was the wife of King George VI and the mother of Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon. During WWII her spirit gave moral support to her subjects while in her later years she was viewed as matriarch to the Royal Family, enjoying public popularity throughout. She remained publicly active until just before her death at 101 years old, perhaps helped by her reputed love of gin and Dubonnet Red.

Fruity, yet balanced and well-weighted with just enough spirituous bite. Rum acts as a base while gin lightens and lifts.

I scaled up the drink a bit and am I glad I did.
1 oz / 30 ml Ford’s gin
1 oz / 30 ml Dubonnet
3/4 oz / 22.5 ml Aperol
1/4 oz / 7.5 ml Smith & Cross
The only change I might consider is a regal stir.
