Well, things are certainly sexing up at Solea, the über-posh Spainiterranean eatery at the tony W South Beach.
Slurp your way through a menu of new cocktails devised by W’s Living Room lounge bartender Tommy Merolla, which sniff at your plain-Jane vermouths and bitters and simple syrups with mixological fixin’s like aloe vera gel, lavender gin, strawberry yuzu and vodka flavored with bison grass.

These puppies will set you back 14 bucks, but at least you won’t have to choke down one more goddam Sex on the Beach.
