5 Hot Cocktail Trends in Portland |
Communal Cocktails
Avoid interrupted conversations as you and your friends have to refill your cups by ordering a cocktail large enough to share with your friends.
Interurban: Choose between two great classics that come by the bottle. If your group prefers whiskey, grab the Bottle of Manhattan, made simply with rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, and angostura bitters. If you and your friends prefer something a little sweeter, go for the Bottle of Negroni, made with gin, sweet vermouth, and campari. Try to get your friends together for happy hour when both bottles are only $30 each (4057 N Mississippi Ave; 503-284-6669).
Teardrop: An array of seasonal punches that come in a real punch bowl to ladle out among your group. You can choose between a bowl fit for two or three people or the bowl that will serve four to six (1015 NW Everett St; 503-445-8109).
Hale Pele: If you’re out with friends and looking for something exciting, do not miss the Volcano Bowl. In addition to the great taste of multiple aged rums, allspice and fresh citrus, you also get plenty of fire to heat up your night - this tiki classic from the 70s isn’t called a volcano for nothing! On the other hand, if you're out on the town with your significant other, try the Boo Loo: pineapple and dark rum drink for two served in a pineapple shell (2733 NE Broadway; 503-662-8454).
