Oh my! As if there weren’t enough reasons to stop into Segafredo Brickell, they’ve just added an extra-large sparkling party punch aptly called the Segafredo Iceberg.

This bubbly, sweet-tart mega-cocktail combines raspberry & basil-infused vodka with grapefruit, lemon and cane juice before being topped off with St. Germain and a splash of sparkling wine. The potent concoction comes complete with giant straws and a sparkler show. Getting together for a drink with friends will never be the same again; SZE-Brickell.com. — Jose Oz.

Clever Compliment
“OMG…that’s a fabulous (fill in the blank). Where did you get it?” Everyone loves a compliment…and by presenting it as a question, you make it much easier for them to respond.

 

 

Playing Tourist
Reinvent the classic groaner “Come here often?” with a request for advice. “I’m trying to only go to new bars this summer and am asking everyone what their faves are. Any recommendations?”

 

 

Be Direct
“I’m making it a point to meet new people here instead of just chatting with the same folks every time. Do you mind if I say hello and introduce myself?” With this one, it’s all in the delivery.
