It’s all about the drinks, and we've found four ideal spots for sipping cocktails in this week's dining news.
Rosé-Hued Sundays at Thompson Miami Beach
Thompson Miami Beach will fête the summer with the launch of its Côte de Rosé soirées held every Sunday at 2 pm. Taste a selection of rosés in the lush gardens in any form you want—by the glass, bottle, cocktail or sangria pitcher—or grab a float and hop in the pool as the in-house DJs spin music until sunset. 4041 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 786-605-4041
Global Gin Nights at the Traymore Bar
If you've been looking for a refresher on gin, the Traymore Gin Bar at Metropolitan by COMO Miami Beach has just the thing. The bar is showing its wide selection of imported gins from around the world every Thursday night during the Ladies and Gintlemen event from 6-11 pm. Guests will be treated to everything from gin tastings to $5 Bombay Sapphire cocktails. 2445 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-695-3600
World Whiskey Day at Regent Cocktail Club
As we approach World Whiskey Day (May 16), the Regent Cocktail Club at the Gale is making this an event worth celebrating by whipping up a special cocktail. Head bartender Julio Cabrera presents the 1829, a mix of Tullamore Dew Irish whiskey, orange juice, Lillet rouge, and cherry brandy for a refreshing and potent way to toast the holiday. 1690 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 786-975-2555
Cuba-Inspired Happy Hour at Tongue & Cheek
On May 19 from 6-8 pm, this eatery will host a Cuba-themed happy hour in honor of chef Jamie DeRosa's first of three culinary adventures to Cuba. Guests will be able to mix and mingle with the team who will also be joining DeRosa on this journey, while snacking on complimentary chicharrones (fried pork rinds) and pastelitos (Cuban pastries). Be sure to wash it all down with Hatuey Cuban Style ale and cocktails. 431 Washington Ave., Miami Beach, 305-704-2900
