Here on this side of the pond, royal watchers will celebrate the big wedding of Kate Middleton and Prince William early – taking in the festivities in the wee morning hours.

But after all the tea has been sipped and scones nibbled, revelers may want to toast the happy couple with a cocktail – and one English spirit company has got just the recipe.

Mixologist Dan Warner of Beefeater, the iconic British liquor brand that adorns their bottles with exact replicas of the Beefeaters who guard the Tower of London, tells PEOPLE he created his special Royal Punch with the bride and groom-to-be in mind.

“Of course I thought first and foremost of the happy couple when creating it,” he says of the recipe. “Drinking punch represents a tradition that is long associated with celebrating royal events.”
