(Lantao Kitchen + Cocktails)
Not surprisingly, Miami has a different take on a winter cocktail. Since in South Beach, winter is simply a time to put on a slightly less skimpy bathing suit, winter drinks are a bit lighter than one might find elsewhere in the country. But they're no less sophisticated. Lantao Kitchen + Cocktails created this complex twist on a margarita replaces sweet Triple Sec with smokey Maguey mezcal that's just this side of too much – only brought back from the edge by a solid lug of sweet agave. It's a walk on a winter beach.
