"At the breezy Fireside, with its wide windows and sprawling sidewalk patio seating, the Cold Gold Chain is like a caffeinated old fashioned. This bourbon drink doubles down on the caffeinated side of things with both coffee liqueur—from Portland’s own New Deal Distillery—as well as cold brew. Chipotle-cacao bitters emphasize the chocolate notes in the coffee and give the drink some nuance and complexity without any overt spice. It’s best enjoyed on the sidewalk seating with a view of the passersby and their dogs on the bustling NW 23rd Avenue." - Alex Frane
