Description: Innovative cocktails involving everything from nitrogen to Pop Rocks can found at this high-end lounge located in Downtown Miami. Even the cliché cosmopolitan is turned into a molecular masterpiece with vodka gelee, orange sorbet, cranberry foam, and candied orange zest. The decor is equally inventive with an interactive wall that ripples when people walk by and an iBar counter (among the first in the US) where guests can pay their tabs or just doodle. The lounge’s bars are all-glass and constantly change colors thanks to their L.E.D. lights. Purple, red, and orange accents top off the space’s funky, playful feel. Surprisingly, this posh hot spot actually has a happy hour, which runs Mon to Fri from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. and gives those on budgets the opportunity to try the normally pricy cocktails.
