In today’s newsletter, we honor a classic drink and celebrate in style because we know you’re worth it! 💁🏻‍♀️ This week and the upcoming weekend, we’re in the mood for a solid Martini. This edition of “In The Mood” is also an ode to the late Jaguar Sun, which served one of our favorite Martinis in town.

As promised, here’s our list of where to get the best Martinis in Miami, mami. <3:
