White Port And Tonic

White Port And Tonic
4.7 (3 ratings)
I’ve yet to introduce someone to the joys of white port and tonic and not turn them into a convert. White port is lesser known than richer, sweet red port, but it can be found in most supermarkets and good wine stores. It has a fresh, summery grape flavour which sits perfectly with tonic’s slight bitterness. Together they make a long, refreshing aperitif, which, happily, is lower in alcohol than something like gin and tonic. — Rebecca Seal, author of Lisbon
