Nelson's Nightcap is a mellow, wine-forward long drink that balances the raisiny sweetness of LBV port with the nutty, savory notes of Marsala and dry sherry, brightened by a splash of lemonade and orange curaçao. It pours a deep ruby-brown topped with a pale citrus layer and drinks smooth and slightly dessert-like rather than aggressively boozy. A good choice for someone who wants a simple, sipping cocktail that still feels layered and approachable.
