Telegraph's Henry Porter Recipe
[Photo: Roger Kamholz]
Telegraph's Henry Porter is quite the continental cocktail; this sweet, nutty, and aromatic concoction includes products from Spain, France, and the U.K. Well, plus a hit of Brooklyn-made orange cream citrate—for an American touch. (Bittermens Orange Cream Citrate is available online.)
Note: To make simple syrup, combine 1 cup water with 1 cup sugar in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved. Cool before using. Simple syrup will keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
