Crimes Against Cocktails, Committed in Portland
The memorable Crimes Against Cocktails domain leads to Malpractice, a Southeast Portland bar serving elaborate cocktails, sake, wine, beer, and food.
Field notes
The menu is organized by drink family and gives unusually granular preparation details, including acid-adjusted cucumber juice, clarified Greek yogurt, and a house-made unfiltered amaro called Malamaro #2. Prices are visible throughout, with most cocktails at $17 and sake offered in two- and four-ounce pours. The page also identifies individual contributors for many drinks, giving the list the feel of a collaborative bar program rather than a generic beverage catalog.
