Juicy Cocktail Bar
The drinks at this 22-seat West Palm Beach bar are complex, delicious, and some of the very best cocktails in South Florida, which means Juicy Cocktail Bar is worth getting on the Brightline if you're coming from Miami. Nearly all drinks on the menu revolve around tropical fruit with ingredients like guava, mandarin curd, and smoked banana. If it’s still on the menu, start with Tony’s masala margarita with sweet potato, turmeric, cara cara, cazadores reposado, and chinese five spice. Then order a plate of seasonal fruit to snack on while you consider whether to go for the mandarin cream crush (tastes exactly how it sounds) or the guava pastelito (also tastes exactly how it sounds) next. This is certainly a place to appreciate a brilliant cocktail, but Juicy Cocktail Bar doesn’t take itself too seriously. You can nod along to M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes” while a bartender demands your honest feedback on the blackberry shaved ice cocktail special they just came up with two hours ago.
