In Miami, tropical drinks are a way of life. They reflect the city’s multicultural influences, incorporating Caribbean spices and Latin American fruits. They are often served with eye-catching garnishes and creative flair. Sipping a tropical cocktail is about more than just the taste—it’s about soaking up the moment.
