Yes, ruby port works as a substitute, though it will be fruitier and slightly less oxidized than tawny. The drink will be bolder in flavor.
Brandied Port is typically served cold, shaken with ice and strained into a glass, unless you prefer it as a warm drink during winter months.
Serve in a coupe or cocktail glass for an elegant presentation, or a rocks glass if served over ice.
Mix the ingredients fresh to order for best flavor. Pre-batching may cause dilution or flavor separation.
Five Star or other mid-range cognac-style brandies work well; avoid very cheap brandy as it will overpower the port's nuance.
