The Royal Bill is an elegant and refreshing cocktail that combines the sweet and aromatic flavors of pear liqueur with the effervescence of champagne. The drink is typically garnished with a half slice of orange, adding a subtle citrus note that complements the pear's floral sweetness. The result is a sophisticated and fruity cocktail that is perfect for celebratory occasions or as an aperitif.
The history of the Royal Bill is not widely documented, but it likely draws inspiration from classic champagne cocktails that have been popular for centuries. By incorporating Poire William, a pear liqueur named after the Williams pear, the Royal Bill pays homage to French and European traditions of using fruit liqueurs to elevate sparkling wines. This cocktail embodies a timeless blend of flavors that continue to delight those who appreciate a touch of luxury in their drinks.
