Invented in the 1970s at Huber’s Café—Portland’s oldest restaurant—Spanish coffee is a regional classic. Their dramatic twist on a Spanish-style coffee cocktail combines flaming rum and triple sec with Kahlúa and hot coffee. Huber’s signature cold-weather drink remains a staple of Oregon cocktail culture and a must-see spectacle in downtown Portland, showcasing Oregon’s flair.
