Two Guys.
One Idea.
Great cocktails.
Local roots.
It started with Dave and Rusty, a conversation in an Oregon City bar and an idea that seemed worth chasing.
They weren’t looking to reinvent the cocktail. They just figured there ought to be a way to make a really good one, put it in a can and take it wherever life happens.
Turns out, making that happen was a little more complicated than they expected.
From farmers markets and plenty of helping hands to a Portland distillery and cocktail lounge, 503 Distilling has always been about good ingredients, trying new things and doing things our own way.
But that’s enough from us.
Meet Dave and Rusty. They’ll tell you how it all happened.

How It All Started
Like most crazy adventures this one began in the woods… several beers deep. And If memory serves, we were discussing how we wished we could trade in our cans of light beer for something with a little more flavor. However while hiking with a bottle of booze and mixers is not my cup of tea, what if there was a premade craft cocktail that came packaged in something we could take with us everywhere we went. We laughed at the idea but none of us could shake the desire to see 503 Cocktails a reality. Here we are years after that hike drinking a delicious cocktail out of can. Yeah, we’re as stoked as you are.
