The Best Holiday Drinks and Pop-Ups in Portland, Oregon | Eater Portland

"Seasonal drink lists rarely go harder than Blank Slate’s holiday martini menu, which this year distills the cast of It’s a Wonderful Life into an impressive slate of whimsical, well-balanced martinis. There’s the George Bailey, which combines Javanese peppercorn-infused Hendrick’s gin, vermouth blanc, and cucumber, and The Zuzu, which uses New Deal bitter chocolate-flavored Vodka, spiced pear liqueur and Sarpa di Poli grappa. Come for the cinematic mixology, stay whichever oddball pre-code Christmas movie is playing on the laser projector." - Ben Coleman
