Porto Tonico (White Port & Tonic) Cocktail
This classic porto tonico cocktail is a staple in Portugal...it's simply a white port and tonic with garnishes, and is a perfect refreshing, complex cocktail for sipping!
Servings: 1 cocktail
Ingredients
- 2 ounces of good white port wine
- 4 ounces of good tonic water try Q Light; see notes
- An orange slice and a couple mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Add several ice cubes to your glass (a bulbous stemmed or stem-less wine glass works well).
- Pour the white port into the glass, then add the tonic water (see notes), and then throw in your garnishes.
Notes
- The traditional amount of tonic water seems to be a 1:2 ratio (e.g. if you're using 2 ounces of port, use 4 ounces of tonic water). I'll be honest and say I usually just throw in the entire can which is 7.5 ounces, because I can sip it longer and I don't like having leftover tonic water. Both ways are delicious.
