Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle Mint and Orange

    In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the mint leaves and the orange slice. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down to release the oils from the mint and the juices from the orange. Do not over-muddle; just enough to combine the flavors.

  2. 2

    Add White Port

    Pour the Van Zellers white port into the glass or shaker with the muddled mint and orange. Stir gently to mix the flavors.

  3. 3

    Combine Limonada and Tonic

    In a separate glass or pitcher, combine the limonada and tonic water. Adjust to taste if you prefer more sweetness or tanginess.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Drink

    Fill a serving glass with ice cubes. Pour the muddled mixture of white port over the ice, and then top it off with the limonada and tonic combination. Give it a gentle stir to combine.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish your Spring Spritz with a fresh mint sprig and an additional slice of orange if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
