The Beauty of Mixing with Port
Thursday December 18, 2008
Port is one of those beautiful wines that is often overlooked in cocktails is port. That's a shame because as great as it is alone (often as a dessert), it adds depth to many great cocktails and deserves to be rediscovered. Tonight that's happening over at The Mixoloseum. This is a newer collaboration among many of the online cocktail experts and anyone who wants to join in on the Thursday evening chats during which one spirit is chosen and everyone poses their best cocktail. This week they're talking Sandeman Port - a new discovery for myself, specifically the 10 year old, which I've found my favorite so far. It should be interesting, as always, what comes out of the session and worth checking out and taking part in future Thursday Night Drink sessions.
Like I said, port is an outstanding mixer and to get started here are a few cocktails, new and old...
