June 02, 2023
Hey there Lost Lovers,
We hope you’ve been settling into 2023 nicely and getting those summer plans to visit us underway, because we have some exciting news to share with you! Allow us to introduce you to a new member of the family, a distant boujee relative known as PortaFortuna XO. A smooth, decadent blend of 2016 Vintage Port & 12 year old XO Brandy, augmented with Cognac and a bespoke recipe of hand-crafted, natural flavours; dark chocolate, burnt orange, rich vanilla and black cherry, Ms. PortaFortuna is sure to impress. Think your elusive but alluring heiress Aunt - she’s classy but cool, elegant yet bold, multi-layered and perfect to savour, but most of all - she’s truly unforgettable!
Our friends at PortaFortuna XO know that memorable moments deserve a remarkable drink, and where are more memorable moments made than in our very own Lost in Amsterdam lounge!? That’s why PortaFortuna XO have chosen Lost in Amsterdam as their official distributors, and the first bar in Europe to be able to serve their delicious new drink - lucky us!
The name PortaFortuna, meaning ‘lucky charm’, was inspired by the Italian toast: ‘PortaFortuna, Buona Fortuna a Tutti’ (with my lucky charm, I wish good luck and fortune to everyone). Each clinking glass traditionally represents a lucky charm, but there’s never been a consensus on what drink the glasses should actually contain… So, the team set out to create a drink worthy of the name ‘lucky charm’, and PortaFortuna XO was born! We think it’s a match made in heaven, and a perfect embodiment of good fortune and good memories in a glass.
We can’t wait to share our good luck with you, in the form of two new PortaFortuna XO cocktails….
XO.XO - Made from PortaFortuna, Lychee syrup, and topped up with a bit of Prosecco, XO.XO is the perfect sweet, smooth and fresh summer tipple. Think Terry’s Chocolate Orange, but boujee and alcoholic!
