How to pronounce my new favorite cocktail

Boa tarde. How do you pronounce “Porto tonico”? Do the o’s on the end sound like the “oo” in moon, scoop, and food?

Obrigada

@lori, I’ll use our vowel pronunciation guide as reference. The first O of Porto is a medium O, while the first O of tónico is an open O (as evidenced by the acute accent). The ending Os in both words are closed, so they sound like U :slight_smile:

Thank you, @Joseph. I’m a beginner, but I got it correct! I appreciate you replying. Have a good day.
