Cocktail Description
The Port Wine Cocktail marries two prestigious aged spirits in a silky embrace that elevates each without overshadowing either.
This sophisticated cocktail combines the warm, fruity notes of Hennessy V.S. Cognac with the nutty, caramel richness of Graham's 20 Year Old Aged Tawny Port, creating a luxurious sipper with remarkable depth. When stirred properly with ice, it develops a velvety texture that glides across the palate, offering layers of dried fruit, oak, vanilla, and subtle spice. The orange zest twist adds a bright aromatic element that lifts the drink's profile. Surprisingly simple to prepare despite its refined character, this cocktail requires just two ingredients and a proper stirring technique. It's an ideal choice for after-dinner enjoyment or special occasions when you want to impress without spending hours behind the bar. The Port Wine Cocktail pairs beautifully with dark chocolate desserts, aged cheeses, or savory dishes featuring dried fruits and nuts.
