Another Speakeasy inspired vintage cocktail, a little gem from The Art of Vintage Cocktails, by Stephanie Rosenbaum.
Enchantress:
2 ounces Ruby Port
2 ounces Brandy
1/2 ounce orange curacao
1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
Combine all ingredients in a shaker over ice, pour into a chilled wine or cocktail glass. Enjoy!
I substituted Sweet Vermouth for Ruby port, which worked ok, just lacking that ruby red colour, so added a dash of grenadine.
