French elegance
The Royal Collins reinvents the famous classic long drink with a decidedly French spirit. Quintinye Vermouth Royal Extra Dry, made with Pineau des Charentes, reveals herbal and spicy notes, subtly softened by sugar syrup and enhanced by lemon juice. Topped off with Three Cents Two Cents Plain sparkling water, the cocktail strikes a perfect balance between liveliness and sweetness. Light in alcohol and expressive on the palate, the Royal Collins is ideal for a thirst-quenching and sophisticated aperitif.
