CoronationCocktail recipe
Rating
The Coronation is a cocktail that elegantly combines the sweet and fruity notes of apricot brandy with the botanical complexity of red and white vermouths, as well as the rich depth of apple brandy. Its balanced profile offers a harmonious blend of sweetness, herbal undertones, and the warmth of brandy.
Presented in a sophisticated cocktail glass and traditionally garnished with olives on a cocktail stick, the Coronation provides a unique and aromatic experience that deviates from the typical fruity cocktail, offering a more nuanced and mature palette of flavors suitable for ceremonial occasions or as a distinguished addition to a cocktail party lineup.
