"This is an old fashioned port wine drink that goes back ways-away to the Victorian era. It is traditionally made during the holidays and is of British decent (though the Port wine is Portuguese). I haven't tried this, but plan to as I can see Dickens on a cold winters night sipping from a celebratory bowl."

Oh my word! I don't even know where to begin! Ok, the roasted orange was incredible. I used 14 cloves instead of 8. I was only making two servings, so I ate a slice of the cooled orange after roasting. WOW! I could eat this without ever making the cocktail! However, I proceeded with the recipe for the two of us. WOWZERS! I think I'll have this every night till Christmas! The "clovey" orange imparts such a great taste to the simmered port! Thanks for posting this great recipe - I'll be sure to make this again when with my family in California for Christmas!
