There’s nothing more satisfying than a frozen libation on a sweltering day. Luckily, Portland has no shortage of frosty ways to imbibe, from frosé and piña coladas to boozy slushies and freezer pops. And of course, the coolest, most delicious event of the summer, the Portland Mercury‘s annual Summer of Slushies, is in full swing right now, with exclusive $5 slushies from a host of Portland bars and restaurants. Check out the handy slushie map to locate a special near you, and read more about the full lineup here.
