Otherwise known as the Porto Tónico , this Portuguese spin on the classic G&T might be even better than the original.

This post was created in partnership with  Roxbury Mountain Maple . All opinions are our own.  We’ve got a giveaway! See entry rules below. Have you ever wished that you could visit your past self?
