For The Love Of Port

I've read several different articles that refer to mixing white port with tonic for a refreshing drink. What I have not been able to find is what are the ratios of white port to tonic? Similar to gin and tonic? 50/50?

Yes, Luke. 50%/50% works best and also include a mint leaf which is really a nice touch and adds good flavor too.

Luke,

Great to have you finally join us on the forum and I do hope to read more posts from you. You ask a good question as summer is upon us (well some of us depending on where you live) and Port and tonic is a very refreshing drink. Here is a link to an article I wrote for the site. I'm sure others will chime in with how they like to mix it, but it will get you started.

p.s. i moved this to the Port Basics forum, it really belongs here and will get more views. Again, thanks for coming out of the shadows to join us

The official mix ratio seems to be 1/3 white port 2/3 tonic, but I like it better around 50/50.

My preference is 0% White Port, 60% Tonic and 40% Gin :twisted:

Did you get to try it? I'd realy like to hear how it went if you did.
