About The Lounge Chair Afternoon Cocktail
“Pink port has lovely hints of fresh berries and a light natural sweetness and makes for very sessionable cocktails,” says Lulu Martinez, director of events for Liquid Productions in Aston, Pa. Straddling somewhere between a white and a ruby, this style works with everything from gin and vodka to tequila and rum. “Port’s lower alcohol levels with vibrant flavors add a fantastic component for playing off other spirits.”
