Cocktail Description

The Port of Call Martini transforms the classic aperitif into a sophisticated dialogue between aged tawny port and orange-infused spirits.

This elegant cocktail delivers a velvety mouthfeel with rich dried fruit notes from the Graham's 20 Year Tawny Port, beautifully complemented by the orange complexity of Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao. The dual bitters add depth and aromatic intrigue, creating a perfectly balanced sipper that's surprisingly accessible despite its premium ingredients. While straightforward to prepare—requiring only a mixing glass, bar spoon, and proper chilling—the Port of Call Martini makes an impressive addition to intimate dinner parties or special celebrations where you want to showcase your cocktail craftsmanship. It pairs wonderfully with dessert courses featuring dark chocolate, aged cheeses, or caramelized fruits, though it's equally at home alongside savory dishes like duck confit or mushroom risotto. For an enhanced experience, serve this cocktail slightly cooler than room temperature to allow its complex flavors to fully express themselves.
