The Cocktail Heatmap: Where to Drink Right Now in Portland

"This vegan cocktail bar from the team behind the Sudra and Lightning Bar Collective pairs jalapeño-cream cheese wontons and sambol barbecue sauce-slathered “chicken” sandwiches with passionfruit punches in fish bowls and shots incorporating mangosteen-jasmine water. The flavor combinations in drinks here are thoughtful and smart — Presence and Form adds depth to the smokiness of Scotch with the inclusion of pu-erh, while the citrusy gin cocktail Lightning Strikes gets a hit of salinity from salted plum. Nonalcoholic drinks are no afterthought, either, using ingredients like roasted pineapple shrub, orgeat, and rosewater." - Janey Wong, Brooke Jackson-Glidden
