On the hunt for a new go-to aperitif? Look no further than the “Porto Tonico,” a low-proof, refreshingly fruity drink that suits an afternoon on a picnic blanket just as well as it does an evening on a dimly lit restaurant table. Popular in Portugal, this reliable tonic and Port wine cocktail is amenable to a variety of garnishes, and can be adjusted in strength to fit anyone’s personal taste. Check out a couple easy recipes here, and keep an eye out for Fonseca Siroco White Port or Taylor Fladgate Chip Dry Port when you try them yourself!
