Toast to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry with these royal wedding cocktails

This Saturday, treat yourself to a couple of royal cocktails inspired by Great Britain’s newest royal couple.

Allen Katz, the co-founder of the New York Distilling Company, offered up some new twists on classic cocktails in honor of Saturday's nuptials. Katz adeptly named his first cocktail "The American Princess," too, in which he appropriately adds American flourishes to the iconically British gin and tonic cocktail.

What are some of these flourishes? "I use Perry’s Tot Gin, named after the legendary U.S. Naval Commodore Matthew Perry, and add half-an-ounce of Cocci Americano, an aperitif wine, to gussy up an otherwise very simple gin and tonic,” Katz quips.

Katz’s next creation is his play on the Old Fashioned. “My 'Still Old Fashioned' cocktail is essentially an homage to the steeped-in-tradition aspect of all things British royalty — in this case, a special royal wedding.”

So how does Katz flip the whiskey tradition on its head? He uses gin.
