Port Wine Cocktail

Alcohol: Yes

Glass: Cocktail glass

Taste: sour, smoky

Ingredients

2 1/2 oz of Port

1/2 tsp of Brandy

Instructions

1. Fill a mixing glass with ice.

2. Pour in the Port wine.

3. Add a splash of Brandy to the mix.

4. Using a long spoon or a cocktail stirrer, gently stir the ingredients together until well combined and chilled.

5. Prepare a cocktail glass by chilling it in the freezer for a few minutes or filling it with ice and letting it sit for a minute before dumping out the ice.

6. Hold a strainer over the chilled cocktail glass and carefully pour the stirred Port and Brandy mixture through the strainer into the glass.

7. Garnish the cocktail with a twist of citrus peel or a fresh berry, if desired.

8. Serve the cocktail immediately and enjoy!

- To make the cocktail sweeter, use a ruby Port wine instead of a tawny Port wine.

- To make the cocktail smoother, use an aged Brandy for added depth of flavor.

- For an extra touch, flame the citrus peel garnish over the cocktail before adding it. This enhances the aroma and adds a nice visual effect.
