"High atop downtown’s Porter Hotel, Xport may be flashy by Portland standards, yet it’s a serious cocktail lounge with a stellar view of the city. Dress up, find a spot near a fire pit, and chill under the colorful ceiling lights that slowly rotate through shades of the rainbow. The West Will Provide uses Westward Whiskey Original sweetened with a touch of honey, locally-made apple brandy, and marionberry liqueur, plus just enough herb-infused Benedictine to keep things interesting. The cocktail is finished with vanilla and cardamom bitters, an egg white foam, and artfully placed cardamom pods." - Krista Garcia
