love the look of this drink, will be trying later, and there's that gorgeous glass again that nobody can seem to find or get hold of anymore. Shame.

Liking both tawny port and rum, this is an after-dinner cocktail perfect for us. Did shake it as I can get the cocktail much colder. Did leave out the sugar syrup and we felt the port would be sweet enough. This is a great after-dinner cocktail.
