Famed as much for their love of the drink as they are for their prosperous or tumultuous reigns, Britains Monarchs have always indulged in their favourite choices of ales, liquors and spirits. Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II and the members of the House of Windsor are no exception.

With contributions by such political greats as Sir David Amess MP and Andrew Rosindell MP, this celebratory book contains over 25 pages of glorious colour and is a fascinating and amusing celebration of the lesser known facts which blend spirits with the Monarchy. Filled with refreshing drink recipes, Royal canape recipes by Sandhursts Executive Chef, Robert Kennedy, fun facts, quotes and timelines, this celebration of the Centenary of the House of Windsor 1917-217 and the Sapphire Jubilee of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, The longest reigning Monarch in British history 1952-217, is sure to delight and appeal to those who enjoy a good tipple, great food, decadent Royalty and the one thousand year history of the British Isles.
