With summer setting in here in Miami, you could probably go for a refreshing beverage (we know we could). Check out our guide to a few of the hottest spots to grab
the coolest drinks.
Andú Restaurant and Lounge
Cool off in Brickell at Andú Restaurant and Lounge. Here we recommend sampling the cilantro martini with your choice of gin or vodka, aloe vera juice, lime juice, sugar and muddled cilantro; or the rose petal martini with gin, rose syrup, fresh lime and bitters, topped with a splash of Champagne.

Atrio & The Bar at Level 25 at the Conrad Miami
Kick back at one of Miami’s newest, chic lounges situated on the 25th floor at the Conrad Miami – the perfect place to elevate your senses. Here, we recommend ordering the Blue Kiss, a concoction consisting of Hpnotiq, Absolut Citron, Blue Curaçao and Champagne.

Azul at the Mandarin Oriental
Come for the cocktails, stay for the stunning views of Biscayne Bay. Azul at the Mandarin Oriental is one of the most beautiful places to indulge in Miami. Our recommendation here? The Lychee Saketini.

La Cofradía
La Cofradía, the Gables posh Peruvian destination, offers imbibers anything from fruity to classic – with a Peruvian twist. They definitely know how to put Peruvian’s spirit to good use. Order the Maracuya Sour made with pisco, a liquor produced in the wine regions of Peru.
La Cofradía, 160 Andalusia Ave, Coral Gables; 305-914-1300; www.lacofradia.com
Wish at The Hotel
Mixologists at Wish are always coming up with creative cocktails to compliment their 4-star menu. Here, we can’t decide between their signature electric cocktails (eight to chose from) and their Sleepless Night Cocktails – our advice? Try both.
