• Strawless
  El Gaucho Portland and many area restaurants have chosen to go strawless. If you would like a straw, please ask. Sometimes a beverage tastes better through a straw, that’s okay! We are trying to reduce one cocktail at a time. “It’s only one straw”, said eight million people.

  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

  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

  Ruby
  You know her, you love her, you can’t live without her. This University of Puget Sound Junior 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. Say hello, she may have seated you! ~15

  Fiddy-Fiddy
  Simple math: 50% Tanqueray Ten plus 50% Dolin Dry Vermouth, perfectly chilled and served up with 2 olives and a lemon twist, equal 110% deliciousness. ~16

  C.O.W. (Cocktail of the Week)

  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

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

  Blacknail
  Imagine, if you will, your bartender expertly puts ice into an empty glass, adds a shot of Johnnie Walker Black, a splash of Drambuie and a dash of Cherry Heering, stirs earnestly, pinches an orange peel to finish and gently places this unique creation in front of you, leans forward and says gimme all your money or I’ll call your mother. ~15

  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

  Rules of the road; never leave your buddy behind. This combination of G-Blend V, pineapple juice, fresh mint, bitters and Fever Tree Tonic reminds us all – when your pal needs an Uber, as a lookout, get your pal an Uber. We all need a lookout every now and again, especially in Nashville. ~18

• Foster Brooks
  This tipsy concoction of everybody’s favorite Bananas Foster delivers all of the old school love without the tableside hoopla.
