Fran’s White Port Sparkling Cocktails

Dry White Port Spritzer

A crisp and refreshing cocktail, the Dry White Spritzer is an elegant way to enjoy the clean, pure flavors of summer.

Try using different culinary herbs for sight and flavor variations–thyme, tarragon, and lavender are some of our favorites!

Makes 1 serving

Ingredients

  • 1 ounce Dry White Port
    We like Porto Kopke’s Dry White Port for its clean and crisp flavor and nutty, earthy character that rivals the best Fino Sherry
  • 2 ounces Sparkling Water, unflavored
  • 1 sprig Fresh Culinary Herb, like thyme, tarragon, or lavender

Directions

  1. Fill a glass with ice cubes.
  2. Pour dry white port and sparkling water over ice and gently stir.
  3. Garnish with the culinary herb of your choosing and enjoy!

Lagrima White Port Tonic

Simple in preparation, but full of sweet, complex flavor, we love to enjoy a Lagrima White Port Tonic on summer evenings, when the heat of the day is best paired with bubbly beverages, good friends, and great food.

Makes 1 serving

Ingredients

  • 1 ounce Lagrima White Port
    We like Porto Rocha’s Branco Lagrima White Port for its sweet citrus and lemon verbena flavors that are well-balanced by a good acidity
  • 2 ounces Tonic Water
  • Fresh Lemon Juice
  • Lemon twist

Directions

  1. Fill a glass with ice cubes.
  2. Pour Lagrima white port and tonic water over ice.  Add a quick spritz of fresh lemon juice to the glass and gently stir to combine.
  3. Garnish with a twist of lemon and enjoy!

Variation

For an added kick, try substituting the tonic water with a biting ginger beer
