The Miami Vice

Half Piña Colada, half Strawberry Daiquiri, the Miami Vice is a frozen classic that became a symbol of resort culture and blender-fueled excess. Bold, colorful, and built for poolside drinking, it’s also a drink with surprising craft potential. Joining us to explore it is Miranda Midler, head bartender at NYC’s soon-to-open Oriana. Listen on (or read below) to discover Mirandas's Miami Vice recipe — and don't forget to leave us a review wherever you get your podcasts!
