Dubonnet (UK: /djuːˈbɒneɪ/, US: /ˌdjuːbəˈneɪ/,[1][2] French: [dybɔnɛ]) is a sweet, aromatised wine-based quinquina, often enjoyed as an aperitif.[3] It is a blend of fortified wine, herbs, and spices (including a small amount of quinine),[4] with fermentation being stopped by the addition of alcohol. It is currently produced in France by Pernod Ricard, and in the United States by Heaven Hill Distilleries of Bardstown, Kentucky. The French made version is 14.8% alcohol by volume and the US version 19%.[3] The beverage is famous in the UK for having been the favourite drink of Queen Elizabeth II and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother.[5]
In November 2021, Dubonnet was awarded a Royal Warrant by Queen Elizabeth II.[6]
