Port, that gentle, rich and comforting spirit, has a whiff of empire about it. This recipe, a strong, port-based punch, works to counteract the image. It’s not too sweet, but rich and spicy. It’s an easygoing crowd-pleaser and proof that port and orange get along famously. Consider it for the next time you plan a holiday gathering.

Very nice and a bit special for the holidays.

Delicious! I made an ice wreath and served this in a punch bowl, without sparkling water. The ice slowly melted and helped to mellow it out. My favorite, however, was when I made a single serving to make sure I liked the proportions before committing to a whole batch. The flavors are well balanced and I personally did not find the drink to be too potent. I will definitely keep this recipe in my back pocket for parties, but also for single servings as well!

I made this for a ‘hygge’ night with friends. I used Knudsen tart cherry juice in lieu of cranberry (tried both). I also added a bit of almond flavoring and increased the clementine mix and the juice mix to dilute the alcohol just a bit. Try making a very small batch with tablespoon sized amounts and adjust to your liking. It was delish and potent!
