This is the signature cocktail at the vineyards of Taylor Fladgate in Portugal, where the drink is called the “Chip and tonic,” after the winery’s classic white port, Chip Dry. It’s very light and refreshing, particularly in summer. Try this drink with a little spread of Iberian appetizers, like boquerones (marinated white anchovies), Marcona almonds, and grilled cipolline (small, flat onions) and fennel.
Ingredients:
- Ice as needed
- 1/4 cup white port
- 6 Tbs. tonic water
- Lemon or lime wedge for garnish
Directions:
Fill a double old-fashioned glass with ice. Add the white port, top with the tonic water and stir to mix. Garnish with a lime wedge and serve immediately, with a swizzle stick, if desired. Serves 1.

What a great recipe to introduce to a Port wine newcomer. I fell in love with Duplin muscadine wines sometime ago, and I'm happy to add White port to my collection of sweets. Can't wait to try the red ports!
