pomegranate caipirinha

The bar team at db Bistro Moderne Miami {255 Biscayne Boulevard Way, Downtown; 305.421.880} is embracing the cooler months by introducing five new seasonally inspired cocktails to the restaurant’s already-intriguing drinks menu. One of our favorites is the citrusy-sweet Pomegranate Caipirinha. Visit db Bistro and have the experts make it for you—during happy hour in the lounge (Monday-Friday 5-8pm), perhaps?—or follow the steps below to make your own at home:

First, create your own pomegranate-infused Cachaça by combining 2 or 3 pomegranates’ worth of pulp/seeds, 1 bottle Cahaça, and pomegranate syrup. Muddle 3 quartered fresh limes with 1 ounce simple syrup. Add ice and your pomegranate-infused Cachaça and shake. Pour into rocks glass. Garnish with pomegranate seeds.

Not a pomegranate fan? Here are four additional winter cocktails currently gracing the menu: the Rosalie (mezcal, lime juice, rose water, and Peychaud’s Bitters); the Maplenut Manhattan (bourbon, Carpano Antia, smoked maple syrup, and black walnut bitters); the Lemonbaum (Citron vodka, triple sec, lemon juice, rosemary syrup, and cranberry bitters); and the T Collins (gin, honeyed peppermint tea, lemon and lime juice, and sparkling wine).

OriginalCosmo Katsuya

This month, Katsuya at the SLS South Beach {1701 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach; 305.455.2995} not only wants everyone to think pink, but to drink pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

From now through the end of October, the SBE hot spot on Miami Beach will be donating 10-percent of the proceeds from every purchase of its specialty rose-colored cocktail, the Original COSMO, to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

Be sure to visit Katsuya to show your support of the cause, then make it for friends at home.

Mix 1-1/2 ounces of vodka with 1 ounce cranberry juice, 3/4 ounce lime juice, 1/2 ounce simple syrup and 1/4 ounce Cointreau. Garnish with cherry and lemon wedge.

Jalapaloma

Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner—and that means there will be plenty of tacos and tequila to go around. Start the party early with this spicy twist on the classic paloma cocktail: the Jalapaloma. Instead of your standard portion of tequila, you’ll replace it with a dose of jalapeño-infused Blue Nectar Tequila. The Jalapaloma can be crafted at home with a few simple steps:

Chop up one jalapeño and use it to infuse 1-1/2 ounces Blue Nectar Silver*. In a shaker, combine infused tequila with 1/2 ounce Grand Marnier, 1/2 ounce lime juice, 3/4 ounce agave nectar, and 2 ounces grapefruit juice, and shake well. Garnish with an orange slice.

*You can infuse the tequila for anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks depending on how spicy you want it to be. Sample over time to achieve your desired heat level.

Voila! This cocktail is perfect for Cinco de Mayo or any day of the year.
