There’s an image of Miami as a place of excess, where more is more and the drinks flow as freely as the parties that pump on till the late hours of the night. But one of the city’s most popular restaurants is leading the charge for a “ sober curious summer,” with the launch of a new menu that embraces alcohol-free options that are just as good — if not better — than the spirit-forward offerings.
Sexy Fish, the globally-renowned Japanese restaurant and celeb hotspot is one of the first places in the world to offer a unified cocktail menu for drinkers and non-drinkers alike. Appropriately dubbed “UNITY,” the new menu offers 12 drinks based on 12 core flavor profiles, each available as alcoholic and non-alcoholic iterations. Highlights include the “Pineapple,” which features pineapple peel-infused mezcal, basil, lime and coriander in the alcoholic version, and roasted pineapple soda, green pepper, banana and chipotle in the 0% ABV version.
The “Sugar Snap Pea,” meantime, features dry gin, snap peas, manzanilla sherry, absinthe, apple and lemonade in the cocktail, while its mocktail counterpart uses Seedlip Garden 108, in addition to sugar snap peas, pear, jasmine, and verjus. And guests will want to try Sexy Fish’s “Cacao” cocktail, which is their take on an espresso martini, made from vodka infused with caca.
