Paring Port & Nibbles

For a simple appetiser, consider putting together a mixed bowl of various types of stuffed olives and pickles to serve alongside a small glass of port.

White Port And Nibbles
If you are serving nibbles and nuts, or maybe a bowl of olives or two before dinner, why not try a glass of Fonseca siroco white port on your guests. A generous measure of white port mixed in a long glass with ice, tonic and a slice of lime is a cool refreshing aperitif. See our Taylors port and tonic cocktail for ingredients and method.

Tawny Port And Nuts
Alternatively why not try a chilled tawny port like the Kopke 10 year old. The taste is cleaner and crisper than a traditional red port and it works well with smoked almonds, salted popcorn, smoked salmon and other tasty nibbles.

Chilled Pink Port
A chilled Croft pink port also works well with smoked salmon, cream cheese and crackers.
