Ingredients

  • 2 ounces dry white port or rosé port
  • 4 ounces tonic water
  • Ice
  • Orange slice , thinly sliced
  • 1 Fresh rosemary sprig

Instructions

  • Fill a large balloon glass or highball glass with ice. Pour in the port. Top with tonic water. Stir gently to combine.
  • Garnish with an orange slice and rosemary sprig. Serve immediately.

Notes

White port creates the most traditional Porto Tonico.
Rosé port offers a fruitier, more colorful summer cocktail.
Replace the cork after opening; port keeps well, making it ideal for cocktails for two.
For the most refreshing results, chill both the port and tonic before mixing.
