Tonight is for Sweet Liberty Drinks & Supply Company, a fetching little neighborhood hangout for whiling away the hours in the company of some really nice people and drinks, soft-open now in Miami Beach. (Slideshow time.)
John Lermayer of Regent Cocktail Club and Florida Room fame is in charge here. Nice. And he’s done a bang-up job outfitting the place with red vinyl booths, vintage-looking wallpaper and a neon sign that says “Pursue Happiness.”
As for how you’ll use it…
When you need a laid-back spot for unwinding after work. A Velvet Sideswipe with mezcal, spiced pineapple and Punt e Mes in front of the backlit bar will help with that.
When a date mentions their affection for matcha and shellfish in a bun. Grab a booth, an order of mini lobster rolls and a round of the gin-crème-de-pêche-and-matcha-laced Collins Park. Done.
When your Sunday tailgate is lacking the requisite supplies. Soon, there’ll be a little shop up front where you’ll find all the miscellany necessary for conjuring cocktail magic at home. Bunch of different bitters and coupes and things.
