Whiskey Sangaree

As I've said before, Sangaree is just another word for punch that was used during colonial times. I imagine that this cocktail is the single-serving version similar to that shared between Native Americans and colonists, if not a little stronger.

What we have here is an Old Fashioned with porto dessert wine instead of fresh fruit. Here's the rundown.

• 2 oz. blended whiskey (Seagram's 7 used)
• 1/2 tsp. sugar
• 1 tsp. water
• 1 tbsp. ruby port

Combine sugar and water in an Old Fashioned glass and stir until sugar dissolves. Add whiskey and ice and stir. Float port on top.
