Brandy and port are a natural compliment and the combinations makes an appearance in a number of cocktails including the Coffee Cocktail, Happy New Year, and Porto Flip. In the Lucky Deduction we have this classic mix with a modern twist, this being a fruity, refreshing version of port via Croft Pink. Also, with any of these finely tuned drinks, I highly recommend using the freshest orange juice possible. True, it is only a splash, but even in the smallest amounts we need to think of quality and refrain from compromising the rest of the drink.
