3 Cocktails Inspired by Tampa History

Three drinks from Tampa bars that tell the city's history one sip at a time

I Left My Wallet at La Segunda
From M.Bird at Armature Works

With a name inspired by Ybor City’s iconic Cuban bakery, Jay Wells and the M. Bird team created this rum-based cocktail that incorporates a taste of the tropics (including the guava that Ybor City co-founder Gavino Gutierrez was promised but, alas, did not find in Tampa).

Recipe

1 oz. Smith & Cross
Traditional Jamaican Rum
1 oz. Gosling’s Black Seal Rum
1 oz. guava-coco cream
1 oz. pineapple juice
1/2 oz. lemon juice
1/2 oz. orgeat syrup

Add all ingredients into shaker (except Gosling’s) and shake with ice. Serve in a Collins or swizzle glass on crushed ice. Float 1 oz. Gosling’s on top. Garnish with two pineapple fronds and one filthy cherry.

No Bad Juju – From Rox at the Current Hotel

Tampa’s Cuban immigrants were known for their superstitions, and one way to remove negative energy from your home or environment is to burn sage. The Current’s bar team serves this cocktail in a sage-smoked snifter “to cleanse the ‘spirit’ and the ‘host’” before the drinker’s first sip.

Recipe

1 oz. Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao
1 oz. 10-year port wine (the Current’s team uses Taylor Fladgate)
1 oz. Martell Blue Swift Cognac

Add all three ingredients in a mixing glass with ice and stir about 30 times.

Southern Smoke – From Repeal 18

Thanks to its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, Tampa was a hotspot for liquor smugglers and bootleggers during Prohibition. Speakeasies, also known as blind tigers or blind pigs, flourished. The Westchase cocktail bar Repeal 18 (as in, the 18th amendment, which established Prohibition) pays tribute to this period in the city’s history with 1920s-themed libations, like this one.

Recipe

1 ½ oz. Milagro Reposado
1 oz. simple syrup
1 oz. lime juice
½ oz. orange juice
½ oz. egg whites
½ oz. Solerno blood orange liqueur
¼ oz. Great King Street Scotch whisky

Combine all ingredients, shake with no ice. Add ice, shake again, and double strain (once with a mesh strainer and once with a fine mesh strainer).

BARTENDER – AMANDA POLLOCK

Repeal 18 | 9882 W. Linebaugh Ave. | (813) 373-0700 | repeal-18.com

“I think people are realizing when they create t “I think people are realizing when they create these design-influenced spaces, it’s making it easier for them to stay home,” says Michael Morabito, principal designer of Coco Design Group. “If you can kind of bring that back and create that in your own home, it makes you think, why would I even leave my house?” 🛋 At the link in bio, three Tampa Bay-area designers talk about how the pandemic and all this time at home has changed interior design.
