Danielle Centoni of The Oregonian has put together a fascinating survey of some of the unique summertime beverages available in Portland, Oregon.  Pok Pok spikes seltzer with yuzu vinegar.  The Sugar Cube offers lemonade smoothed out with vanilla beans.  Por Que No? offers a watermelon-jalapeno agua fresca.  Check out the article to find out where you can get Ruby Jewel ice cream shakes, cucumber-lime soda, a caffe shakerato, or a grapefruit fizz with basil.

Danielle also gives praise to the raspberry-rose sodas available at Sahagun Chocolates.  Michael Stern, in his Roadfood.com review of Sahagun, describes the hot chocolate pictured above as “pure, thick, intense, a pleasure for its physical gravity as well as its vibrant chocolate flavor.”
