port and tonic you say? yes please!
I had the most delicious drink in Porto a few years back—Chip Dry White Port with tonic. And now, it’s here! Complete refreshment in a can—easy peasy. Taylor Fladgate spent several years developing their own (less sweet) tonic to showcase the Chip Dry White Port. Lowish alcohol too. Next up is the Croft Pink & Tonic, made with Croft Pink Rosé Port—raspberries, ripe cherries, subtle hint of grapefruit citrus. The pre-made cocktails are available in a convenient four-pack, find at Color de Vino and other fine wine shops.
