IPA Cocktail Recipe From The Dutch | Miami Beach, FL
You won't find too many beer cocktails on Miami drink menus. Robert Ferrara, head bartender at The Dutch, provides a smooth introduction to the genre. His version combines bracing grapefruit-infused Aperol with Stone IPA, which has its own citrusy notes. Ferrara makes the almond syrup orgeat by soaking almonds in water, then puréeing them, but he also loves the orgeat from Small Hand Foods. For more 2012 Best Cocktails, click here.
