You better watch our, you better not cry, you better not pout, I’m telling you why… Cockburn’s.
PORT you filthy minded individual. It’s COCKBURN’S PORT! This year, the secret ingredient for some head-turning festive season cocktails is Cockburn Port’s and its new “Tails of the Unexpected” range of modern, premium ports.
This is port, reimagined. While it’s usually seen as a festive-only drink, Cockburn’s Tawny Eyes, Ruby Soho and White Heights bring a completely new take: lighter, brighter and made for mixing. Each expression has its own personality, from citrus-led and zesty to spice-rich or boldly fruit-forward, making it easier than ever to shake up impressive cocktails that feel thoughtful but effortless. Whether you’re a long-time port fan or discovering it for the first time, this range invites everyone to sip, experiment and celebrate in a new way.
- Tawny Eyes – Barrel aged and expressive, with aromas of honey, caramel and vanilla.
- Ruby Soho – Youthful and vibrant, bursting with ripe red fruit and festive spice.
- White Heights – Crisp and fragrant, with tropical fruit flavours and floral notes.
It’s available now at Dan Murphy’s. Once you’ve got your filthy festive hands on some, please try it in these magnificent cocktail recipes!
