These cocktails bite.

View as Map

bIn the past you'd equate the Magic City with a commonplace mojito here, a repugnantly sweet daquiri there. But Miami's cocktail renaissance has us feeling some type of way- watery-eyed, tongue tingly and above all else, hot. Like, really hot. Jalapeño hot, some might say.

Spicy drinks are a thing now, and it's no longer an oddity to add a little bit of sriracha to your Bloody Mary, or some cayenne pepper to your margarita. There's nothing wrong with a little punch in your palette, so we've mapped out seven of Miami's spiciest drinks from north to south, because a little spice never hurt nobody.

Sugarcane Raw Bar Grill

If you’re just starting to dabble into the world of spicy cocktails, Spice of Love is a good one to try, with fresh jalapeño, passionfruit purée, mango essence, and premium vodka. It’s light with a kick.

The Setai

The Setai is one of the most regal places to grab a cocktail down Collins, and if you want one with a kicker, their Chili Passion Martini is a keeper. It’s one part chili-infused Russian standard, another part passion fruit-infused rum, with passion fruit pulp, ginger syrup and plenty of chili flakes muddled around.

Blackbird Ordinary

The name might be a little funny, but there’s nothing funny about the ingredients in the Tipp Topp: mezcal, passion fruit, lime agave, mint and, above all else, habanero.

R House Wynwood

Copy Link

R House makes a mean signature margarita that’s as sweet as it is spicy, with jalapeño infused Espelon tequila, Cointreau, fresh pineapple puree and a dash of lime juice, freshly squeezed of course

The Corner

Noriega’s back, and he’s back with a vengeance. Take some Jose Traditional (Cuervo’s higher grade), toss it back with a pineapple cilantro jalapeño chaser and you have Noriega’s Revenge, which is just as spicy as it is sweet.

The habanero shrub inside the mescal-based Fuego Tropical gives the drink some real flavor, and the passion fruit counteracts it to give it a bit of sweetness.

HaVen Gastro-Lounge

Haven’s got a FeVer, although this one’s not unwelcomed. Lychee, pear and prosecco make it a brunch-worthy drink, however it’s the jalapeño that makes it one wild ride through your taste buds.
