- Put the mint sprigs in a highball glass and add the sugar cane syrup.
- Press the mint gently so it releases its aroma and blends into the syrup.
- Pack the glass about two-thirds full with crushed ice.
- Pour in the port wine and the Cherry Heering.
- Add more crushed ice to build a mound, then stir well until the glass is cold.
- Put in a straw.
- Finish with a few extra mint sprigs and some drunken cherries on top.
