Whatever you think of the Royals, we love a happy marriage — G&T, PB&J, R&R…  Some things are meant to be together.  Seizing any opportunity to overdress, we also enjoy pomp and circumstance.  And with Will’s fresh-faced great-great-great-great granny on our bottle, we’ve gotta raise a glass.

Is that a family resemblance?  It’s the nose, right?

So what to drink to celebrate the hats, the love, the pomp, and the matrimony this weekend?  We’ve got just the thing for you to put on.

Royal Blue Moon / aka: something old, new, bubbly, and blue

(makes two, of course)

4 oz Vic Gin
2 dashes of crème de violette
2 oz dry vermouth
2 dashes of twisted & bitter, orange bitters
bubbly

Shake your new Vic Gin with your blue crème de violette, that old vermouth in the fridge, and bitters with ice.  Pour into champagne glasses (ours are oldies) & top with bubbly, which you may have to borrow from a friend — tell them we sent you.  (We also borrowed a silver tray from our Auntie Marnie and believe the Queen would approve.)

Will, Kate, we wish you all the best, including some Vic Gin during your upcoming Canadian honeymoon.  Who knows, Charles & Camilla got lucky and anything can happen in a blue moon.
