Rich and indulgent. Very delicious. Loved the delicate touch of orange Curacao. Nutmeg would also work well in the garnish.

With a VS cognac it was nice but not as good as just drinking the (10 year old) port alone. I imagine you need a VSOP or XO for this.

The egg yolk version with the grated nutmeg starts to remind me of a Coffee Cocktail.

Have tried this twice and was impressed both times. It is a great after-dinner or evening cocktail. Almost tasted as if a cherry liqueur was in the cocktail, but it is from the balance in the recipe.

A new fabulous one from my “Must Try” list. Funny thing, in the book it calls for Ruby port and on the site Tawny port. I never have Ruby port so used Tawny anyway, however I only had 30 year Ramos Pinto so the port was quite present but still this is a 5 star for us.
