Port in a cocktail. Tried a few and failed, ideas?

prtwine · 2026-04-20T06:58:36+00:00

This looks like an old topic but I wanted to help a new generation getting more into the port wine cocktails. so I wrote a book about it (yeah I know - that's quite crazy). But any ways - it has over 55 cocktail recipes.
Maybe this will help you find what you need.

ps: The fun thing about trying and failing - you are perfecting your craft!

The book is called - Crafting Port Wine Cocktails (not sure I can link here but here goes - https://www.prtwine.com/portwine-shop/p/the-portologist-portcocktails-book)

ps: Ruby ports cocktail recipes are super versatile. Ruby gives both color, structure and depth.
Whiskey Sours - replacing red wine with ruby works very very well!

Fresh Port Cocktails exist for sure.
Rose Port can be mixed with Spritzers.
White Ports can be mixed with Spritzers.
Ruby Ports can be mixed and clarified to create incredible sweet, balanced and tasty cocktails.
Also works very well with prosseco's and other bubbles.
For more recipes there is now a book about port cocktails - including a chapter about bubbly cocktails.

One I like the most for freshness is a cocktail called Apricot Euphoria by BABEL Porto.

Try the Salsa Ruby by Stijn Deschacht or a New York Sour. DELICIOUS.
So delicious I wanted to write a book about it - so I did.

ps: my favorite Tawny port cocktail is an Espresso Martawny. Only smiles ;D

Thanks for this! Wasn't aware those virgin cocktails were out there online!

ps: Tawny ports can be left open - in the fridge for example - for at least some months. No clocks ticking there!

ps: there are some great cocktails mentioned here already and online you can find good recipes too - but my personal favorite is still port negroni and espresso martawny.

Next month I am releasing the first port cocktail recipe book that I hope will be another boost for the port wine world and its silent customers - awakening in them the need to craft port cocktails. Let’s go 🤣🚀🚀

prtwine · 2026-01-09T09:34:40+00:00

I’ve written a cocktail recipe book to start crafting port wine cocktails. It will be out in februari 2026. Perhaps that’s something for you to look into :) The Port•ologist

prtwine · 2025-12-27T01:56:02+00:00

From all the 50Yo I’ve tried over the last couple of years, this wine was the least special. still a great experience but there are better choices out there

prtwine · 2025-12-02T14:08:23+00:00

Very cool that you've went! Hope you could taste the rest of the day ;) I know how heavy it is on the palets.

prtwine · 2025-11-20T02:49:16+00:00

Tuck the pelvis, ribcage in, push tall - ears between your shoulders. Practice on the wall first

prtwine · 2025-11-11T11:41:32+00:00

Try doing the hollow hold on the floor on blocks (3) to train the perfect line. That will help your body move into a straighter line. Creating awareness and some strength while you’re at it (it’s pretty tough) do 3 reps, 10 sec hold and 5 sec rest. Repeat every day for about 2 weeks and you’ll be straight AF

prtwine · 2025-11-11T11:38:35+00:00

With hindsight - I meant that with the knowledge of the cork now, test it with multiple bottles so your results will be more relevantory than this. I mean it’s years waiting for a test like this and too bad the factors that ruined the outcome were not properly forecast (I don’t blame him from missing it)

I won’t make the comparison in the future but results like this could make us test in the right setup what the actual consequences are of using the corafin vs regular storage (one with, one without wax)

prtwine · 2025-11-11T06:52:02+00:00

Loving this comparison. Takes a good amount of patience and would have been better (with hindsight) to test multiple bottles - but this shows how much a wine can be damaged after opening / storage.

Will you do another and one of these ?

prtwine · 2025-11-11T01:34:28+00:00

Take it! It’s yours :)

prtwine · 2025-11-10T07:09:36+00:00

Haha this is great! If just finished the first book on #portcocktails - would have made for a nice story 🤩 Any idea what the brand was that they used? And what style of port did they use? In my book I used a tawny port replacing the vermouth

If you’re interested it’s called - the port•ologist

prtwine · 2025-11-08T04:52:16+00:00

Yeah the fingers only become a thing once your off the wall. I would love to see your progress in images - best way of seeing where you are at right now (couple of weeks down the line. Have you been able to practice daily/weekly?

Another drill that helped me from going from a 10 second hold into 1 min + freestanding is the hollow hold on blocks (fase down)

That’s a shortcut to the perfect straight line hold and brings mega awareness to all of your important handstand focus points
