Cooking Lesson #642 “Lisboa” Portuguese Cocktail

From the Perspectives’ Happy Hour Bar

Port & Tonic Cocktailcredit: portugalnews.com
How you doin’? I spent several years traveling to Lisbon on a couple of projects. My friend Nuno (a real foodie) introduced me to this refreshing cocktail (which is great north or south; summer or winter)—“Lisboa” Portuguese Cocktail. That is the happy hour cocktail I had at the new Echo and Rig in Green Valley last Friday.
 
Many know Port wine as Portugal’s most popular fortified wine. But, besides drinking the several varieties of existing fine Port wine as they are, did you know that we also tend to play around with Port wine for cocktail making?
 
This cocktail is most commonly enjoyed in the northern city of Porto, but I love a reinvigorating Port & Tonic anywhere, anytime. If you like Gin & Tonic, this is basically the same, replacing the gin with Port wine. You can do this with either red or white Port, but white is preferred.
 
If you’d want to indulge in a cocktail hour with a distinct Portuguese flavor, ask for a Port & Tonic or you can easily make it at home too.
 
Ingredients 
2 ounces white Port wine (red Port will work as well)
4 ounces chilled tonic
1 lemon peel or lime wedge for garnish
 
Directions
  1. Fill a tall glass with ice.
  2. Add 1 part Port wine and top with 3 parts tonic.
  3. Garnish with a lemon peel or lime wedge.
  4. Stir and enjoy!
ChefSecret:  Port, also called Porto, specifically, a sweet, fortified, usually red wine of considerable renown comes from the Douro region of northern Portugal, named for the town of Oporto where it is aged and bottled.

Quip of the Day:  I just read an article about the dangers of drinking that scared the crap out of me. That’s it. No more reading!
