For The Love Of Port

Hi all,

don't know if this belongs here,, I'm going on the " food" part, but please move to another place if more appropriate.

the government run monopoly here issues a free magazine a few times a year with new products, cocktail recipes and food recipes with suggested matching wines.
Anyway, this month's summer issue had a cocktail for the newly arrived Croft Pink..

It seems to be a spin on the Sangria theme...

Champgria (for 1 person)
3 leaves of fresh sage
60ml(2 oz) of Croft Pink
45ml (1.5 oz) of white cranberry juice
15ml (0.5 oz) strawberry liquor
3 blackberries
3 rasperies
3 ice cubes
180ml (6 oz) of club soda

smash 2 leaves of sage in a large wine glass,
add Croft Pink, juice and liquor
stir
add the fruit, ice and club soda

when serving garnish with the last fresh sage leaf


I haven't tried it but I do have sage in my garden and it isn't something we use much in our cooking so I might as well try this, on a hot day at happy hour 5-7 on the deck. I think I even have some Frangoli in the bar somewhere.


cheers
Paul

Nice job!

What is Frangoli?

oh,

Aha!

About 5 minutes from now I am going to be sitting down to a Kopke Rose Port. Had it the other day, but now I'll be tasting it more chilled and with Glenn in attendance to make sure I'm not looking at the label.
