Porto DrinkThe warm breezes of Spring are right around the corner and with them, come thoughts of cool, refreshing cocktails. Jonathan Pogash, The Cocktail Guru, has created just the right spring cocktail using Sandeman Porto that I’m sharing to brighten your nearby spring.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz. Sandeman Founder’s Reserve Porto 
  • 1 oz. Avión Blanco tequila 
  • 3/4 oz. almond syrup 
  • 1 oz. G.H.MUMM Cordon Rouge 
  • 2 strawberries, chopped

Directions:

  1. Muddle the strawberries in the fresh lime and almond syrup. Add the tequila and Sandeman with ice and shake well. Strain over ice into highball glass (or other tall glass of choice). Top with champagne and stir briefly.
  2. Garnish with a slice of strawberry on rim of glass. Serve with traditional Portuguese toasted almonds.

Founder’s Fizz

April 22, 2013 By

It’s Springtime and it makes me want to start fixing cocktails to celebrate the nice weather. I just came across a delicious-sounding drink that I thought I’d share with you. It’s main ingredient is Sandeman Founders Reserve Porto. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Sandeman, it’s the world’s leading port and sherry company.

Sandeman is also encouraging Facebook fans to enter their own carbonated concoctions in the Sandeman CO2 Cocktail Challenge for the chance to win a trip for two to Tales of the Cocktail 2013. How neat a trip would that be!?

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz. Sandeman Founders Reserve
  • 1/2 oz. Ballentine’s Blended Scotch Whisky
  • 3/4 oz. blood orange juice
  • 3/4 oz. sweet honey-cucumber water (honey that has been diluted with water that has cucumber slices marinating in it)
  • Cucumber slice for garnish

Directions:

  1. Add ingredients to your carbonator of choice and carbonate. Then pour over ice into a tall glass.

Cheers,

Veronique
