Let Summer ’17 be all about cool cocktails on hot summer days! To make sure it is, we’ve rounded up our favorite summertime sips in Miami—and where to find them—below.
“Spicy Mango Martini”
GK Bistronomie
Spice up Summer ‘17 with this combination of Beefeater Gin, Cinzano Dry Spicy Mango Thai Chili, and Yuzu.
“Kiwi Something Or Other”
NaiYaRa
Take a sip of this cocktail, and you’ll taste the flavors of tart summer kiwi, lemon, Bombay Dry Gin, St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur, and sparkling wine.
“Bikini Bottom”
Sawa Restaurant & Lounge
So appropriately named for summer in Miami, this martini is made with Van Gogh Pineapple Vodka and Malibu Coconut, and (like the best bikini-wearers) comes with no top.
“Tropical Dream”
Segafredo L’Originale
Living in the M-I-A is a tropical dream… and so is this Caribbean cocktail. It’s made with Bacardi White Rum, Malibu Black Rum, Bacardi 151, Cremé de Banana, passion fruit, mango, raspberry, orange, pineapple, coconut sugar, and fresh banana.
“Culantro Martini”
R House Wynwood
Cool down with a Culantro Martini, which mixes cucumber-infused Lucky Player Vodka with St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur, cilantro, and lemon juice.
“Sunset Sangria”
The Lido Bayside Grille
When the sun goes down over Biscayne Bay, sip this tasty concoction and see the colors reflected right in your glass. This wine cocktail fuses rosé, St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur, lemon white wine, muscat, grapefruit red wine, and blood orange.
“The Night Is Young”
Soyka Restaurant
…and so it is every night in Miami. Sip on this cocktail and let that mantra ring true: it has a mix of bourbon, fresh-squeezed watermelon juice, and fresh sour mix, mint, and jalapeño.
“Drift Into Summer”
Pizza & Burger by Michael Mina
Drift into the warmer months with this refreshing swirl of Bombay Gin, watermelon-infused Dolin Vermouth, and lemon.
“Frenchie”
Bakehouse Brasserie
Do as the French do and slip into la “joie de vivre.” Grab this Frenchie cocktail on the way—it’s a mix of G’vine Gin, St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur, Lillet Rose, Pamplemousse, and citrus.
“Summer Time”
The River Seafood Oyster Bar
The name of this cocktail says it all! Perfect for summer, it combines Elyx Vodka, pineapple, Cocchi Americano, jasmine tea, and passion fruit.
Happy dining!
