Tried on the Rock, but I thought much better served up to savour the flavours and aromas.

First time trying the classic port and brandy combination. Simply, it works. A match made in heaven. I love nutmeg so had the requisite whole ‘megs and baby grater. Five stars no question.

For my second iteration ran out of sugar syrup so used Luxardo instead, which worked

I used high end ingredients, but even with more modest means this is going to work. But I do recommend investing in the nutmeg greater and whole nutmegs 😉

Excellent. Will try to remember to dust with nutmeg next time.

Unbelievable, honestly. You'd be amazed at how simple a combination as this can end up so good. Brandy and port does something magical together, perfect nightcap when you want something substantial but don't feel like putting in the effort to make something more complex. If you're a fan of port and other fortified wine like I am, this is a must.

What a great cocktail! A after dinner one with all the fall notes as walnuts, warm spiced, woody.. I replace the grated nutmeg by orange zest and Maraschino cherry.

This is outstanding. I was surprised to see how many ratings were on this cocktail, but no comments. This is a perfect evening cocktail or nightcap. The cognac and port works great together. The nutmeg dusting was a plus.
