The Kindling at 1 Hotel South Beach’s Drift Lobby Bar

At the 1 Hotel in South Beach, guests are treat to a delicious and refreshing scent when they walk through the door, a mixture of eucalyptus, oakwood, musk, tree moss and more. Now, the same unique blend is available as a cocktail at the property’s Drift lobby bar, the Kindling.

Served in a terrarium surrounded by live succulents – to mimic the 1 Hotel’s peaceful and nature-centric entrance – the Kindling is truly a sight to see.

“Made to mimic the cedar, oak, moss and eucalyptus fragrance one experiences when at the 1 Hotel South Beach, The Kindling blends smokey scotch, spicy rye, aromatic Mamajuana, bold and complex Barolo Chinato, eucalyptus forward Amaro Braulio, and bittersweet aperol together to make a stunning presentation,” explains Beverage Director Steven Minor. “Smoked a la minute with our custom eucalyptus and cedar blend, this cocktail is a complex and perfectly balanced libation that appeals to your senses.”
