  • Tried without and with sugar and preferred with. Orange bitters would seem a good addition.

Dan commented on 2/20/2012:

I wonder what sort of port was intended. I can't imagine the motivation for adding sugar to a drink that is already half port.

From Punch: Seeking a more consistent mouthfeel and flavor, Brooklyn bartender Selma Slabiak introduces orange bitters, gomme syrup and a lemon twist to the proceedings.

1 ounce Cognac, preferably Pierre Ferrand 1840

1 ounce tawny port

2 dashes orange bitters, preferably Regans'

1 barspoon gomme syrup (see Editor's Note) 

Garnish: lemon peel
