• Irwin’s Mule
  Portland has changed a lot since your first Moscow mule, in a copper mug, in this building, fifty years ago. El Gaucho’s Copper mug (in the same historic building) features Belvedere vodka, Cock’n Bull ginger beer and fresh lime. Rich history and an eye toward the future, let’s keep Portland “Special”. ~14

  Ruby
  You know her, you love her, you can’t live without her. This University of Puget Sound freshman is also an El Gaucho classic. Citrus vodka, fresh lemon and a splash of Chambord are shaken and served up with a powdered sugar rim. We couldn’t be more proud of our girl! ~15

  The Laughing Fig
  Sifting through a neighbor’s garage sale, I came across an old cocktail book from Scotland dated 1817. This was the only actual cocktail in it. This original features Laphroaig 10yr, a touch of sweet vermouth, a dash of bitters, a skosh of fresh lemon and a spoonfull of fig puree’, shaken and served up with a lemon twist. Enjoy this one of a kind opportunity. ~18

  True Sazerac
  The Phylloxera outbreak of the mid 1800’s changed the Sazerac as we now know it. Back in the day it featured cognac. So, we step back in time to the early 1800’s with this old timey combo of Hennessy VSOP, Pechaud Bitters, an Herbsaint wash, chilled and served neat with a lemon peel. A true classic revisited. ~19

  C.O.W. (Cocktail of the Week)
  Fairly unique, occasionally tropical, mostly fun and always inventive. Go ahead… have a COW! ~13

• Big Top
  This three ring circus features bourbon barreled Big Gin, Aperol and sweet vermouth performing over ice with an orange peel. So step right up, and be the ring master of your own circus. ~14

  Typhoon
  Like most typhoons, this one will knock your socks off. Brace yourself for a flurry of fresh lemon, muddled mint, lemon bitters, Portland’s own Aria gin and a touch of green Chartreuse, shaken and served up. Storm protection provided by El Gaucho. ~15

  Tahitian Honey Bee
  This Trader Vic’s original features fresh lemon. a squeeze of honey, a dash of Fee Brothers bitters and Mt. Gay Eclipse rum, shake it, serve it up, drink it, and keep the ghost alive. ~13

  The Bachelorette
  Bachelorettes roaming the streets of Austin all seemed to love this combination of Tito’s vodka, muddled cucumber, fresh lime and lavender bitters – Looking for one last fling before tying the knot? This one’s for you. ~14

  Beso Del Diablo
  Your angel may be sitting across from you, or it may be the devil’s kiss. El Jimador Blanco, fresh grapefruit, pineapple juice & Matthew’s Habanero “juice” is shaken and served up with a sugared rim. Flip a coin, heads-angel, tails-devil, either way you can’t lose. ~15

El Gaucho Portland Woodford Reserve Personal Selection

• Thor
  This masculine cocktail has just what it takes to stand up to all the injustices of the universe. G-Blend IV stands against evil with a splash of Lagavulin, a dash of Green Chartreuse, stirred and served up with a lemon twist. Embrace your inner super hero. ~18

  Coco’s Travels
  Coco visits Kentucky to influence G-Blend IV and comes back with this fantastic idea. Take some Trader Vic’s classic house made Hot Buttered Rum batter, a healthy dose of G-Blend IV, a dash of Fee Brothers Aztec chocolate bitters topped with hot water in a hot mug. The perfect color for a perfect winter warmer. ~16

  Manzanita
  For those of us who enjoy a unique cocktail, good friends and a setting sun, this original combination of “G-Blend IV,” a touch of cream sherry and a dash of Fee Brothers walnut bitters, served up with an orange peel and a cherry is just the thing. So face west, relax and let your friends at El Gaucho take care of the setting sun. ~18

• Shabby Daniel
  As an innovative farmer in the late 1800’s, he created a strain of corn, perfect for sour mash. Stay back, because our grilled orange infused G-Blend IV is mixed with a splash of maple syrup, a dash of Fee Brothers bitters and a touch of Cherry Heering – it’s just the thing to honor an unknown pioneer. ~17

  Midnight Rambler
  Wandering the streets with Leland may inspire you to combine unique ingredients. This combination of G-Blend IV, a splash of Carpano Antica, a dash of Peychaud’s bitters, a bar spoon of Benedictine and an Herbsaint wash. Served up with a lemon peel is inspired by a pug and a need to ramble. ~18
