Named after the London rhyming slang for port and brandy, its base ingredients. The love interest comes courtesy of orange and vanilla

The orange comes in too heavy here and gives a cloying sweetness (though I used Cointreau instead of Grand Marnier), but the vanilla is a nice touch. Solid cocktail.

Been 17 years since I last made this but just knocked one up to give it a try. A 10-year-old tawny port rather than ruby port is key to the balance. Agreed, tripe sec doesn’t suit the recipe – better with Grand Marnier or a 35%+ abv dry orange curacao. It’s best as a night-cap rather than 9:30am as I now sip.
