Café La Trova

Café La Trova, one of the 50 Best Bars in the World, is a true icon of cocktail culture. You can't go wrong with a cocktail at this amazing Cuban themed establishment in Little Havana, which was created by renowned mixologist Julio Cabrera and Chef Michelle Bernstein.

Try some of the bar's original creations with a Latin touch, such as the star-studded "Buenavista," which combines Bombay Sapphire gin, lime juice, cucumber, elderflower liqueur, mint, and sugar. Cabrera’s house specialties include the Bobby Burns, made with Aberfeldy 12-year Single Malt Scotch Whiskey, smooth vermouth, Benedictine, and a cookie.

Sweet Liberty Drinks & Supply Company

You can take the pink neon sign that reads "Pursue Happiness" at face value. Considering you're sipping at one of the city's top cocktail spots known for some of the best cocktails, that should be simple enough. John Lermayer, the famed proprietor of Sweet Liberty, passed away in 2018, but his legacy of collecting rare liquors continues.

Lermayer took great pleasure in enlightening others with his extensive knowledge of cocktails. All this information is conveniently located in a drink menu that is neatly separated into sections for "fancy" and "classic" drinks. This quirky bar in town serves up a variety of boozy beverages, including absinthe, mulled wine, and a rum-and-raisin liqueur.
