Cocktails with Tawny port
Description
Tawny port is a fortified wine from Portugal aged in oak barrels, allowing oxidation and caramelization of flavors. It originated in the Douro Valley and has been a popular dessert and sipping wine for centuries. Tawny ports are complex, offering notes of dried fruits, nuts, and gentle oak. The aging process softens the sweetness and adds depth. After opening, refrigeration preserves its delicate flavors.
Taste
Sweet, nutty, caramelized.
Usage
Serve in dessert cocktails or stirred drinks. Can also pair with whiskey or brandy for rich, layered cocktails.
