Glass Guide- Cocktail Glass
Originally an un-garnished cocktail from the 1930's, the Dubonnet Cocktail is now often served with a twist of lemon (sometimes an orange peel) but has fallen into obscurity in recent years. The Dubonnet Cocktail is said to be a favorite of Queen Elizabeth II, and her mother preferred it served on the rocks. This cocktail is also known as a Zaza.
