Queens Road Cocktail mixed by MyBeverageGuide

This version of the famous Queens Road Cocktail uses a lime peel to give some more fresh oily lime flavors. It's a well-rich-flavored summer cocktail. The Aromatic Bitter is closing the gap between all those different ingredients. For the Caribbean touch, we like to use Pineapple Rum.

  • Always use fresh herbs for the garnish.
  • Be careful and confident if you want to zest a citrus fruit with a zest peeler!

  • Use a Honey Syrup instead of pure Honey. It's disolving better in the drink.

editor recipe notes

We were looking for some good recipes that are made with Ginger Liqueur. We got a producer from Hamburg who was producing his liqueur just some miles away from us. He approached us, we tasted the liqueur, and we made some drinks with it.
The Queens Road Cocktail was an adaption from a Newspaper Article about the famous cocktail bar “Le Lion” in Hamburg.
There were 10 drinks published, and we thought we would try them.

We made our own version, which became a delicate drink with subtle flavors.
