Review

Indulgent creamy mouthfeel but not too sweet, with a great balance between the port and the calvados.

So. the drink in the image is pale. I made this last night and the ruby port tinged the entire cocktail mauve. It wasn’t off putting, and even looked more ‘Christmasy’ - but I’m curious how you keep it pale.

Used tawny port that, additionally, may have been a tad old. Can't recommend, yech.

Didn't have a strong opinion on this one, although in fairness I was trying to use up a bottle of port I was already less than impressed with. Slightly curious what ruby port you were using that made this come out yellow.
