Port-Tonic
Most people probably mix their tonic with gin – but isn’t it time to try something new? Port wine is the perfect choice for a heavier drink that complements the fresh tonic in the best way.
In Portugal, drinks with port wine have been made for a long time! There’s no doubt that this comes from a love of port wine, but also the realization that port wine can be heavy and sweet – especially in the summer heat.
And this is where the mix of tonic and port wine comes in as the perfect combination for a lighter and less sweet drink. The sweetness of port wine and the bitterness of tonic water create a fine balance with each other, and you will surely be surprised by this new way to experience port wine.
