Byblos Old Fashioned
When you’re in the mood for a bonafide classic, you know you can always turn to an Old Fashioned. This timeless masterpiece of mixology is an extremely simple three-ingredient blend (sugar + bitters + liquor), which makes it a great contender for recipe variations. This twist on a classic from Byblos Miami is framed with eastern spices and is served traditionally over a perfect cube of ice with an expression of orange oils. Boozy, smooth, and sophisticated, Byblos’ Old Fashioned is just as easy to make as it is to drink.

the cafecito
Gloria Estefan once described Cuban coffee as “very powerful, very sweet, and a little dangerous.” That’s exactly how we’d describe this cocktail developed by mixologists at Lobster Bar Sea Grille, made with coffee liqueur, dark rum, Licor 43, chocolate bitters, and simple syrup. Enjoy while listening to salsa music and playing dominoes.
