Cocktail Description

Meet the Bishop, a luxurious winter warmer that transforms aged tawny port into a soul-soothing elixir.

This sophisticated hot cocktail balances the rich, nutty depth of Graham's 20 Year Old Aged Tawny Port with bright orange juice and sweet honey, while muddled cloves add a warming spice that blooms in the hot water. The finished drink offers complex layers of dried fruit, caramel, citrus, and baking spices, all crowned with a fragrant dusting of nutmeg. It's remarkably simple to prepare—just muddle, stir, strain, and heat—making it perfect for impromptu gatherings on chilly evenings or as a nightcap after a long day. Serve this toddy during the cooler months of fall and winter, particularly around the holidays when its warming spices feel especially appropriate. The Bishop pairs beautifully with desserts featuring dark chocolate, dried fruits, or nuts, but also complements savory dishes like aged cheeses or charcuterie boards featuring smoked meats.
