IBA

The Miami Vice is a striking two-layered cocktail that combines a frozen Piña Colada and a frozen Strawberry Daiquiri side by side in the same glass. Made with Bacardi 151 proof rum blended separately with each frozen mix, the drink presents a dramatic half-white, half-red visual effect. It is a party favourite that evokes the tropical glamour of South Florida.

History & Origins

The Miami Vice cocktail is named after the iconic 1980s television series set in Miami, and the drink's origin is disputed among various Florida beach bars and resort chains that popularized it during that era. It became synonymous with poolside leisure culture in the United States throughout the 1980s and 1990s. No single creator has been definitively credited with inventing the recipe.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Coconut, pineapple, and tropical rum on the nose. Palate: A bold interplay of creamy pineapple-coconut sweetness meeting tart strawberry-lime; the high-proof Bacardi 151 delivers significant heat throughout. Finish: Long and warming with residual fruit sweetness and a pronounced rum burn.

Pro Tip

Pour the Piña Colada blend first and gently layer the Daiquiri blend on top to preserve the iconic two-tone presentation before serving.
