2 ozsugar sweetener
  1. Warm the port wine with the sugar and a little spice to taste.
  2. Strain clear and allow it to become cold.
  3. Add the bottle of soda-water and serve.

This is a nice example of a heated-then-cooled wine-cup adaptation.

The brief warming step is the recipe's defining structural twist.
