Broken Shaker
What started out as Miami’s first pop-up cocktail lounge has become a landmark for industry folks looking to get their nightcaps. Perched in an unassuming hostel in South Beach, The Broken Shaker eludes the prevention and glitz of the area it resides in. Take a dip in the pool after and between sips of cocktails made with domestic ginger beer and flowers, fruits, and herbs from the Shaker’s own garden. We’re pretty sure Hemingway would have made this a haunt of his, had he lived another 50 years.
The Regent Cocktail Club
If the face pouring your drink looks familiar, it’s probably Julio Cabrera—winner of Bombay Sapphire’s “Most Imaginative Bartender All-Stars,” GQ cover model, and The Regent’s mélange virtuoso. A true cocktail club in every sense of the word, The Regent takes guests back to the days of pre-prohibition, before the dark and dry times hit America and when brandy flips and gin fizzes with egg whites were an everyday occurrence. The menu changes daily but French 75s, original daiquiris, and old-fashioneds infused with house-made smoked pork belly bitters are always available.
Lure Fishbar
You may not expect to get one of the best libations Miami has to offer from a fish bar, but barkeeper Rob Ferrara has created a cocktail menu that slurps just as good as the oysters found at Lure. The cleverly named concoctions keep with the nautical theme of the resto and match the refreshing aroma of the seaside nearby. Order The Lure Bloody Mary—its name isn’t marine, but in it a filthy pickle, shrimp, and deviled egg float gracefully.
HaVen Gastro Lounge
At HaVen, a self-proclaimed gastro-lounge, the bar changes colors, the LCD walls change landscapes, and the booze flows till 5 a.m. Bar alchemist Isaac Grillo creates innovative and inventive cocktails using chef Todd Erickson’s farm-to-table method, only it’s farm-to-glass in his case. That same strategy won him Miami’s USBG’s Legacy Cocktail Showcase. Also at the bar, Carla Rivera, Diageo World Class finalist, and USBG Girl. Order a martini, mixed cocktail carafe, or one of the punches. You simply can’t go wrong.
Cypress Room
At Cypress Room, there’s a beverage book—it’s got a table of contents and several chapters. From cocktails to spirits and cordials to after dinner, Michael Schwartz’s ode to fine dining pulls out all the stops. Only eight seats are available at the bar, so snag one and order a barrel-aged specialty cocktail with house-made bitters. You might want some frog legs to go with that.
