About
I’m teaming up with local bars and bartenders to recreate some of their original cocktails for Barmageddon, happening October 4–7 in Portland. Organized by the volunteer-run Portland Bar Coalition (@pdxbarcoalition), it’s a grassroots celebration of our bar community, with workshops, tastings, and parties around the city. Follow along as I share more of the drinks and people behind it, and check out @pdxbarcoalition for event details!

This version of the Marshmallow-Rita comes from Mary Preble (@mary.prebs) for the SHUT IT DOWN! Bar Rescue pop-up at Suki’s II (@sukis_ii), taking inspiration from a cocktail actually featured on the show. It’s a Margarita riff that uses vodka as a vehicle for marshmallow flavor, with a small pour of tequila alongside the familiar triple sec and fresh lime. Mary’s version swaps the original marshmallow-flavored vodka for an infusion and finishes it with a toasted marshmallow. You can try it at Suki’s II during the pop-up on Tuesday, October 6 from 9pm until 1am!Cheers y’all!
