The Ultimate Miami Mojito Map
Updated: This was originally posted on June 6, but we wanted to bring it back to remind you how delicious an end-of-summer mojito can be!
Sure, it doesn't have an official stamp or Wikipedia-backing, but it's common knowledge: The mojito is the drink of Miami. Not only is it our favorite warm-weather libation, but with its distinctive Cubano flavor and refreshing mint kiss, the muddled drink is a perfect representation of The Magic City—a combination of tastes, a hint of sweetness, and a nod to our Latin-infused heritage. Most importantly, it tastes friggin' awesome.
So, to make this the #summerofmojitos (we just made that up, but we're thinking it ought to stick), we've prepared a must-memorize map to the city's coolest mojito offerings. From blackberry infusions and mojito-tinis to classic mint/sugar/rum combos, we've got the 13 best concoctions to sample in four key Miami neighborhoods. Don't forget to bookmark this cheat-sheet—you don't need to wait 'til the end of the week to celebrate Summer Fridays.
Drink up! We've got all of the 305's best mojitos right here on one can't-miss map.
Ortanique
Let’s face it, sometimes the theater needs a little alcoholic, erm, enhancement, so grab a mojito next door to Actor’s Playhouse at Ortanique for zesty zing before curtain. ($12)
Ortanique, 278 Miracle Mile; 305-446-5695.
The Dome Restaurant and Caviar Bar
Nothing is classier than caviar — except maybe caviar with a mojito-tini at The Dome. They’re calling it a Mojito Martini: same familiar mojito, but served up, in the most executive way imaginable. ($12)
The Dome Restaurant and Caviar Bar, 271 Miracle Mile; 305- 648-4999.
Talavera Cocina Mexicana
It’s been said that cilantro is the most polarizing flavor – you either love it or it tastes like soap. If cilantro doesn't remind you of chewing on an Ivory bar, order up some pico de gallo, tacos, and a cilantro mojito, which favors the herb over traditional mint. ($12)
Talavera Cocina Mexicana, 2299 Ponce De Leon Boulevard; 305-444-2955.
Tarpon Bend
Mojito Madness Thursdays at Tarpon Bend not only has mojitos on tap for $3.50, but they make them fresh with watermelon, blackberry, grapefruit, pineapple, or cantaloupe. Your doctor will be proud you're get your daily doses of fruit and rum!
Tarpon Bend, 65 Miracle Mile; 305-444-3210.
