Port Royal Nightcap

When the temperature drops and you need something more substantial than a simple digestif, tawny port becomes your best friend. This nightcap takes that nutty, caramelized richness and builds a proper cocktail around it, bringing in cognac for backbone and chocolate for depth. The Port Royal Nightcap drinks like liquid dessert without being cloying. That 10-year tawny brings dried fruit and toasted almond notes that play beautifully with cognac's grape warmth. Dark crème de cacao and chocolate bitters add layers of baking chocolate and vanilla, while heavy cream ties everything together with a silky texture that coats your palate. The result is spirit-forward enough to feel serious, but creamy and sweet enough to satisfy your after-dinner cravings. This is the drink for cold nights when you've already had dinner but aren't quite ready for bed. Pour one when you're settling into a good book or winding down by the fireplace. Give it a shake and see why port deserves more attention in your cocktail glass.
