Desperate times call for desperate measures ... even for Queen Elizabeth.
"Lemon, verbena, hawthorn berries and mulberry leaves are among the 12 botanicals hand-picked for the gin in the Gardens at Buckingham Palace, which span 16 hectares and provide a habitat for 30 species of bird and over 250 species of wild flower," says the Royal Collection website.
That's pretty cool. After all, the gardens are gorgeous ... so why wouldn't they also grow the perfect ingredients for a delightful alcoholic beverage? The Royal Collection recommends that the gin be served as follows:"pour a measure of the gin into an ice-filled short tumbler before topping up with tonic and garnishing with a slice of lemon."
That actually sounds pretty good, especially for the G&T fans out there. And the profits made from the gin will support palace upkeep and the Royal Collections Trust, so by selling this new booze, the queen is keeping everything funded.
