Black Cup Recipe

We love port wine in all its forms, but theres a serious lack of good cocktail recipes that include it much less for drinks you could sip on a hot summers day. Master mixologist jim meehan does his part to rectify this omission with the black cup, a juicy, refreshing long drink. Its named after noval black, a young port that meehan uses in his recipe but its equally delicious with an older port, or a tawny port. You can use lemon-lime soda or sparkling water to top, depending on your preference. In fact, you could even use a citrus, cucumber, or berry-flavored sparkling water for a nice twist, instead.
