White Party Cocktails

Mark Thompson READ TIME: 2 MIN.

The 28th Annual White Party kicks off in Miami November 19th and revelers will be kicking off everything that isn't white and living la vida loca for a week-long celebration that fundraises for HIV/AIDS.�

If you are planning to stay home and want to toast the occasion, here are a few white cocktails from Port�n that are sure to get the party started white.

Handcrafted in Peru, Port�n�, a new ultra-premium white spirit, brings excitement and Latin flair to celebrations. More flavorful than vodka, but more subtle than tequila, Port�n is the clear choice for libations that make an impression.

1 1/2 parts Port�n�
1 part banana cream liqueur
