In a wider-mouthed highball glass, tuck the citrus wheels around the sides of the glass, adding ice as you move up the glass. (The ice will help keep them in place.) Add the port, vermouth and bitters. Tuck a straw into the glass and top with tonic.
So, lacking the ingredients called for, I made a rojo version with tawny port, sweet vermouth, and Angostura bitters. Tasty and refreshing.
A quick Google search reveals that dry tonic does not have sugar.
Based on the other notes (thank you everyone), some Google searching,& inspection of my pantry, I found that the easily found Fevertree Naturally Light brand meets the definition put forward here and by brands marketed as "Dry" tonics. It has 2.8g sugar /100ml. Hope this helps.
The dry tonic definition below sounds like soda water to me. (Granted I'm not a savvy cocktail maker.) So I searched as well and found this definition of dry tonic water: With only 6.5 g of sugar per 100 ml and its perceived increase in bitterness, it creates a pleasantly dry taste experience and allowing bartenders to add an exciting twist to any drink featuring tonic. So I'll search for less sugar in my tonic water at the grocery store...
What is "dry tonic" vs regular tonic water?
