Miami’s Best Bars to Get Boozy on National Rum Day

Holiday gatherings do tend to get boozy, but it doesn’t get much better than a “holiday” fully dedicated to liquor. Celebrate National Rum Day, August 16th, with some of the best rum cocktails from our favorite bars across Miami.

Bulla

This Spanish gastrobar is a Coral Gables staple for tapas and churros. On August 16th, pair your meal with a Bacardi 8 Old Fashioned. Traditionally made with whiskey, Bulla will be serving up this twist on the classic cocktail in celebration of the holiday. Another National Rum Day special is the Gran Reserva Maestro Collins, a light and refreshing cocktail similar to a Gin Tom Collins, this time made with Bacardi Gran Reserva Maestro De Ron.

The rooftop bar at the Langford Hotel in Downtown hosts a sultry, speakeasy atmosphere. The cocktail menu is creatively served in glasses ranging from goblets to pineapples to mini-bathtubs. The Langford Speciale is made with Ron Zacapa, Troy & Sons Moonshine, Carpano Antica vermouth, Solbeso, Tempus Fugit crème de cacao, chocolate bitters, and a house mushroom tincture – the perfect combination for a uniquely sweet but earthy drink.
