What is it about summer that so begets boozing? The sizzling temps, the skimpy clothes, the longer days, and sweltering nights — all just goad you to get a good buzz going.
So in the interest of summer imbibing, Short Order spoke to mixologists at some of Miami’s most creative bars for a few refreshing recipes you can create at home.
Cheers to what’s sure to be one hot summer.
Bottomless booze is a beautiful thing. And nothing says Sunday morning hangover cure like free-flowing bubbles (or bloodies). Lucky for the lush among us, there are lots of Miami brunch spots offering weekend libations to soothe that queasy stomach and bring back that pleasant buzz.
So next time Saturday night’s festivities leave you a little worse for the wear, here’s a lineup of eateries where you can get your day drinking on. Cheers.
A Southern fried New York favorite is about to become the newest member of Mary Brickell’s culinary scene. Say “Welcome y’all” to Brother Jimmy’s, a wildly popular barbecue joint and bar with locations across the Big Apple and the Caribbean.

Vegetarian fare is in a genre all its own, with nuances, flavors and textures that differ significantly from omnivorous edibles. Some establishments succeed at mastering these distinctions and exploring the creative use of vegetables – and some fail, simply piecing together uninspired meatless substitutes. Yuga, an Asian restaurant dining experience is tucked away on a Coral Gables side street, and is a treasure trove of options for the curious vegetarian looking to indulge in new taste sensations. They cover all other genres of Asian-styled comestibles as well, including meats, fish and a whole host of other options.
