Coabana

Rum often gets short shrift, relegated to tiki bars and hasty two-ingredient cocktails. At Coabana, a celebration of Cuba and Miami’s Little Havana, the spirit’s complexity is on display throughout the bar’s well-edited drinks list. Here, you’ll find takes on the classics – the daiquiri, the piña colada and the mojito – as well a tropical tipples, such as the Beach Better Have My $$$ with dragon fruit, mango, apricot and orange notes; or the Banana Hammock, made with Chairman’s Reserve rum, banana, sherry, demerara and tiki bitters. The expertise on display should come as no surprise given that Coabana is from the same team behind Pigtails and Rough Rider. Coabana’s interior echoes the playfulness of the drinks, with soft pink tiles, a canopy of gold palm fronds shading the bar and cozy booths.
