White Port Cocktail

A favourite of the locals in Portugal's Douro Valley, White Port & Tonic is here to give the traditional Gin & Tonic a run for its money in the refreshing summer drinks stakes. Simple to make, it's just the stuff to cool off with beneath the beaming British sun.

Made especially for Fortnum’s by our wine buyer and Dirk Niepoort - of the famous house of Niepoort, crafters of world-class ports since 1842 - our White Port delivers wonderfully refreshing honeysuckle and butterscotch notes. Enjoy.
