Can you feel the love tonight? If not, you should, because The Royal Wedding is fast approaching. In honor of the festivities, we're publishing King's Ginger and No. 3 Gin cocktail recipes by local bartenders that would be fit to serve at a royal event. Berry Bros. & Rudd, the makers of The King's Ginger and No.3, have been supplying the British Royal Family with spirits since 1760 during the reign of King George III.
This week, we turn to the expertise of James Goad, head bartender at Slow Club. He's whipped up two royal wedding drinks -- The King's Road and The Monarch. Head over to Slow Club to try them out or make them on your own at home.
