The Speck-Tacular Now
September is National Bourbon Heritage Month—and we’re not just saying that. (The U.S. Government says it, too.) In fact, in 2007, the U.S. Senate declared it, turning every September thereafter, across the nation, into a celebration of bourbon as America’s “Native Spirit.”
With September just days away, we’ve rounded up seven bourbon cocktails in Miami you can toast to the month with. Read below to find out what they are, why we love them, and of course, where you can find them.
Play Thyme

Why we love it: Light and refreshing, this Rebel Yell bourbon cocktail is flavored with freshly-juiced pineapple and two sprigs of thyme.
Lawn Flamingo
From: Matador Bar {2901 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach; 786.257.4600}
Why we love it: It’s mixes Buffalo Trace Bourbon with Torres Spanish Brandy, Aperol, grapefruit, guava, lime, and Peychaud’s Bitters.
The Speck-Tacular Now
From: Macchialina {820 Alton Road, Miami Beach; 305.534.2124}

Why we love it: Together, Evan Williams, berry purée, and lime juice make a perfectly-sweet sipper.
Boulevardier
From: Morton’s The Steakhouse {1200 Brickell Avenue, Brickell; 305.400.9990}
Why we love it: Woodford Reserve Bourbon, Campari Bitter, and Carpano Antica Formula Sweet Vermouth are strained over the restaurant’s Proprietary Ice Cube—and it tastes delicious with a juicy steak.
Whiskey Rye Manhattan
From: The River Seafood Oyster Bar {650 South Miami Avenue, Brickell; 305.530.1915}
Why we love it: It combines Russell’s Reserve 6-Year Rye, Carpano Antica, and brandied cherries.
