　　I treat white port in the same way as I do most pale fortified wines: lovely chilled alone or over some ice, or sensationally delicious when mixed with tonic in this way. White port and tonic can handle all sorts of garnishes—I tinker happily with thyme, basil, mint or even cinnamon; but I love the rasping austerity of rosemary. Lemon is always my citrus of choice.

Ingredients

　　3 oz. (75 ml) white port

　　Tonic water

　　Garnish: Slice or wedge of lemon, sprig of rosemary

　　Pour the white port into a tall glass over ice. Top up with tonic water, to taste, and garnish with the lemon and rosemary.
