Brandy + port + orange = Winter Cocktail

1 | T | Ruby Port |
1 | T | Grand Marnier |
1 | pn | Nutmeg (optional, as garnish) |
Instructions
Pour over ice in a mixing glass //
Serve in a small wineglass //

Notes
This is a serious but surprisingly drinkable cocktail that responds well to variation. Grand Marnier works well with ruby port, but Cointreau or just triple sec and tawny port also make a great combination.
You can also serve neat, which has become known as 'the winter drink' among our circle.

- Made with workaday brandy and PF curacao. This worked as a good late night tipple. — ☆☆☆☆
