 Some years ago there was a rather good 'independent wine merchants' fair in Vinopolis, London. One of the specialists offered a range of Portuguese wines which and was giving out samples of a cocktail made from white port and soda.
Very refreshing.
I was reminded of this as I worked through our port listings (I'm adding a photograph to each of our product listings) and came across the Churchill's White Port. Would make a great base for that cocktail thought I...
We actually list two white ports. The Churchill's, as mentioned, in half bottle (£6.19) and full bottle sizes (£12.19) and one from Martinez (£8.40). The Churchill's is dry, while the Martinez is much sweeter. The former would be my choice for the long and refreshing drink I sampled at the fair, but for those who like a sweeter drink perhaps the latter would be more suitable. The Cardicus is a cocktail I have heard mention of all over the place but have yet to sample; anyone confirm it as worth a try?
Long White Port Cocktail
Mix equal parts white port and tonic water and serve over ice with a slice of lemon. Long, fresh, flavoursome and stylish. A great alternative to G&T.
Cardicas Cocktail
Mix one part White Port with one part Cointreau and two parts white rum.
