Privacy NoticeKing Charles’ latest venture is seeing him sell his own-brand alcohol to tourists for as little as £6.50, following the launch of a pop-up gin bar at King Charles in Norfolk. According to royal commentator Gordon Rayner, the King enjoys a cocktail before dinner most nights – with his favourite drink reportedly being a mix of half gin and half dry vermouth, garnished with an olive or lemon twist. Earlier this year, King Charles, who is still undergoing treatment for cancer, introduced a new range of burgers at the 20,000-acre estate’s upscale restaurant, whereas another pop-up stall sold homemade ice-cream made from local ingredients. However, it seems his passion for gin has escalated, leading to the opening of a gin bar.

The King demonstrated his love for gin last year when he was filmed sipping sampling a glass during a visit to Malton in Yorkshire. The bar, set to be located at the Sandringham Estate, offers very reasonable prices as a gin and tonic will set you back just £6.50. Other products available in the estate shop include a £6.99 Raspberry and Gin Preserve and £14.99 gin-flavoured chocolates, according to The Sun. Guests at the Royal estate can enjoy a tipple of the “full-bodied” raspberry and apple gin, crafted from fruits steeped in distilled spirit. Alternatively, they might choose the “Celebration Gin” infused with Sharon fruit, boasting “zesty citrus and delicate floral notes” that use ingredients from Sandringham’s very own walled garden. Each exquisite beverage is presented in a glass etched with the prestigious the late Queen name and celebrates the bounty of the Norfolk estate’s produce.

Something which is clear is that the royals are just like us when it comes to having a drink to celebrate and toast to important occasions or when it comes to winding down in the evening after a stressful day. Whether it be a refreshing gin and tonic, an exuberant cocktail or a simple beer, the royals are well-known for enjoying an alcoholic beverage from time to time. While King Charles was said to enjoy many different types of drinks, from a martini to a gin and Dubonnet, Queen Camilla’s and Queen Camilla’s tastes are slightly different. The King is said to be fond of a crisp gin and tonic when he travels abroad or a Scotch whisky. Queen Camilla, on the other hand, is a keen wine enthusiast. She previously revealed, “My father was in the wine business, so I was brought up as a child drinking wine and water rather like the French!”Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
