Instructions

**Description:** A sophisticated, full-bodied cocktail that artfully marries the richness of tawny port with the botanical sharpness of gin, balanced with the delicate sweetness of sweetened lime juice and the deep complexity of a few thoughtfully chosen modifiers. This cocktail is a journey through flavor, designed to offer a layered sipping experience, with each sip revealing a new facet of its intricate blend. Perfect for occasions that call for a contemplative drink, the Portside Reverie invites you to explore the depth of its character, one sip at a time. **Ingredients:** - 1 oz Tawny Port - 1 oz Gin (Prefer a botanical variety for added complexity) - 1/2 oz Sweetened Lime Juice - 1/4 oz Creme de Violette (to introduce a floral note and a hint of color) - 1/4 oz St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur (for a subtle sweetness and floral aroma) - 2 dashes Orange Bitters (to brighten and add a citrusy depth) - 1 dash Angostura Bitters (to add a layer of spice and tie the flavors together) - Garnish: A thin slice of lime and a sprinkle of Tajin seasoning on half of the glass rim for a touch of zest and color contrast. **Glass:** Coupe Glass **Preparation:** 1. Begin by preparing the coupe glass. Moisten half of the rim with a lime wedge, then gently dip it into Tajin seasoning to create a beautifully contrasted rim. 2. In a mixing glass filled with ice, combine the tawny port, gin, sweetened lime juice, creme de violette, St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur, orange bitters, and Angostura bitters. 3. Stir well until the outside of the mixing glass feels cold, about 20-30 seconds. 4. Strain the mixture into the prepared coupe glass, ensuring the Tajin rim is visibly contrasting. 5. Garnish with a thin slice of lime placed on the side of the glass without Tajin seasoning. **To Enjoy:** Sip slowly to appreciate the evolving layers of flavor. The initial taste is a bright burst of citrus and floral notes, mellowing into the rich warmth of tawny port, and finishing with the crisp botanicals of gin and the subtle spiciness of the bitters. The Tajin seasoning adds an inviting zest with each sip. Portside Reverie is not just a drink; it's an experience, a journey through flavors and aromas that are both comforting and exciting.
