Mixing Tips
Glassware
- A chilled glass keeps your drink longer and more enjoyable. Your used ice will melt slower, and the taste will stay longer.
Alcoholic Ingredients
- It's good to check if the used Port Wine is in good condition. If it is a White Port, make sure to keep it refrigerated. It will stay longer fresh.
Non Alcoholic Ingredients
- Make sure your carbonated filler is cold and fresh.
Jigger
Bottle Opener
Large Spoon
Editor Recipe Notes
Almost everybody likes to Drink Gin & Tonic. But for some years, there has been a movement to lower alcoholic beverages. It’s good that customers and consumers decide to drink lesser alcohol and still go to restaurants and bars.
The Porto Splash is a Low-Abv version. It has floral notes and only halves of the alcohol content as a regular Gin&Tonic if you pour 40ml. But because there is a lower alcohol volume inside the White Port, we decided to use 60ml.
However, it is a beautiful summer version, light, crisp and refreshing.
