Queen Elizabeth turned 94 in April. Despite the advancing age, she has continued to do her royal duties and responsibilities as the head of the British Monarchy.
She automatically became the Queen of the United Kingdom following her father's death. Since 1952, she has committed herself to the British Monarchy.
In her almost seven decades of reign, many conceded that she is too "busy" for her age. As one could imagine, the British Monarch likely ends each of her busy days with a drink on her hand, according to the Independent. While she and the rest of the British Royal Family have continued to stay tight-lipped about their personal lives, a former royal aide revealed the Queen's favorite alcoholic drinks.
On his own platforms, Darren McGrady, who worked as a royal chef for Queen Elizabeth from 1982 to 1993, let his followers in about the British Monarch's favorite drinks. He revealed that the Queen's "favorite tipple" is a gin and Dubonnet.
The publication noted that the drink is a sweet, wine-based aperitif. In making the concoction, the former royal aide served two parts of Dubonnet with one part gin.
Aside from her go-to "combo," the British Monarch, also, enjoys a sweet, German wine during dinner. McGrady noted, though, that she drinks it "occasionally."
Darren McGrady first revealed Queen Elizabeth's favorite foods and drinks in 2017. However, several publications, reportedly, quoted him saying that the monarch consumes "four drinks a day."
He, later on, clarified that the 94-year-old royal does not drink that much per day, according to Hello! Magazine. He explained that many reports misquoted his statements during his previous interviews.
McGrady added that the Queen would be "pickled" if she consumed four drinks a day. He, also, emphasized that the royal does not drink every day.
In terms of foods, the former royal chef told the same publication that Queen Elizabeth was never a "foodie." He recalled that the British Monarch preferred sticking to the same dishes, unlike her husband, Prince Philip.
McGrady continued that the Queen receives a red leather-bound book of menus, all written in French each week. She would check it over and put a line through the dishes that she did not want.
There were, also, cases when she put a line through all the dishes on the menu and wrote something different. He, later on, referenced the time when the Queen Elizabeth had dinner with Prince Andrew, adding that the Duke of York loves "crème brulee with Sandringham oranges."
