There are few things as satisfying as creating a perfect cocktail—but sitting on a beach in Portugal has to be one of them. With this in mind, the Sandeman Mix It Up challenge is looking for cocktail enthusiasts to create an original cocktail that includes Sandeman Founders Reserve Porto, for a chance to win a trip to Portugal and a visit to the world-renowned Sandeman Cellars.
The submissions will be judged by Sandeman representatives and Dalio Calado—an acclaimed Portuguese mixologist and cocktail expert—based on taste, creativity and originality. While port has been an aperitif and high-end bar staple for years, it is experiencing a dramatic resurgence in the world of mixology, due to its rich color and perfect flavor profile, and we are excited to see what fans of the drink come up with.
To participate, simply visit the Mix It Up tab on Facebook.com/SandemanPorto, and click “Enter Here” to submit a recipe and a photo of the original cocktail
