Miami’s drink culture has grown over the past decade, led by local talent and notable newcomers. High-quality cocktails are no longer limited to South Beach hotel lobbies, with standout bars now concentrated in Midtown, Brickell, and Little River. The city’s bar scene reflects Miami’s identity through immersive concepts created through collaborations between chefs and award-winning mixologists. One example is the Champagne Bar at The Surf Club inside the Four Seasons Hotel, set in an original ballroom with Old Miami glamour. The bar’s annual menu reimagines classics with avant-garde techniques, including drinks built from clarified mango, toasted-rice shochu, artisanal ice, locally foraged ingredients, and in-house infusions, tinctures, and syrups.
"The menu is meticulously reimagined annually, elevating classics with avant-garde techniques, evident in drinks like the Mango Olive Martini, a refined blend of clarified mango and toasted-rice shochu, garnished with mango-stuffed olives. The genius lies in the drinks' deceptive simplicity: Behind the scenes, the team utilizes artisanal ice and locally foraged ingredients. All infusions, tinctures, and syrups are crafted entirely in-house, sometimes requiring overnight clarification to achieve the perfect flavor and texture."
