Our Favorite Place EVER

Teardrop
1015 NW Everett St
Portland, OR 97209
(503) 445-8109

Teardrop has a drink with elixir vegetal on the menu... and a huge line of special little eyedropper bottles of tinctures and bitters, and even atomizers to spray angostura bitters on the top of an egg-white drink instead of floating it in drops.

We didn't make it to Beaker and Flask, but we will have to go next year.

Sipping Gin! Ransom Old Tom Gin

The most exciting gin we've had in a long long time :)
It's great straight (1/2 tumbler full at 2 in the morning, before a maple bacon donut) and in a Martinez with Bitter Truth Repeal Bitters!

Bourbon Renewal

A tasty cocktail we had in portland... The Bourbon Renewal

• 2 oz. maker's mark
• 1 oz. lemon juice
• 0.5 oz. cassis
• 0.5 oz. 1-to-2 simple syrup
• 2 dashes angostura bitters

served over ice, but it's just as good strained. Benjamin's super special variation on this drink makes Loren smile even more:

The Italian Laundromat

• 2 oz. bourbon (we used bulleit)
  
• 1 oz. lemon juice
• 0.75 oz. blueberry liquor
  
• 0.5 oz. small hand foods grenadine
  
• 2 dashes angostura bitters

This variation was made with Benjamin's blueberry liquor lugged back from Italy's pasta capital. The blueberry was less sweet than cassis, so we added an extra 0.25 oz, and mixed it with the delicious grenadine from small hand foods.

The Spicy Cherry

Edit: I've renamed this. Just made it again and, like last time, I get really distinct cherry flavors even though there is nothing cherry-like in it. It is very close in flavor to the Bourbon Renewal at Clyde Common. A little less citrusy, though, and without the distraction of ice cubes.
