Croft Pink / Cool Moments !

An exciting rosé style of Port wine from the house of Croft.
Developed with new techniques, it extracts fresh, fruity flavours and delivers a subtle and delicate pink colour.
One of the original founding Port houses, Croft traces its origins back to 1588 when the company was established in England.
Croft Pink is best served chilled in a generous wine glass, or poured over ice and served in a high ball glass. It also lends itself beautifully for a range of cocktails!
Some of them developed for the latest Croft Pink Cocktail Competition, witch we can see on the video bellow, with some of the best bartenders mixing cocktails like "the runaway" or " Quinta Sangria".



Croft Pink is a summer cool breeze from the garden of Europe, Portugal.
The brand managers are developing several events world wide like the rendez-vous party in the heart of belgravia with lashings of Crofts Pink Port, an eccentric French mixologist and a sprinkling of some of the UK’s top travel journalists.

I had the pleasure of hosting (as a Bartender) an event at the ****Hotel Moliceiro in the charming city of Aveiro, sponsored by Croft Pink, the chosen cocktail for the evening was the " Pink Jasmine" , a mix of Crof Pink and Jasmine tea with a hint of fresh mint, a true cool breeze witch made a success at the party.

You can follow Croft Pink news and events through their Facebook page or through
