Sunny's Steakhouse
7357 NW Miami Ct., Miamisunnysmia.comIn Miami, leaving this beloved new spot off any martini list would be borderline sacrilegious. Will Thompson and his award-winning team are shaking up stellar 'tinis served in a multitude of varieties, with dry, dirty (or filthy), with a twist, with olives, with onions, or even with home-made blue cheese olives. I personally love the "Fino Martini Service," for the table in a funky pitcher made with gin, clarified passionfruit, and fino sherry, that truly stands the test of time.
ViceVersa
398 NE Fifth St., Miamiviceversamia.comSince opening, ViceVersa, an Italian aperitivo bar from renowned bartender Valentino Longo, has become known for its unique martinis, with some like the "Avanguardia" made with aromatic gin, and the "Martini Doppio," a Gibson that's slightly dirty. My favorite is the "Vicepresident," an Italian twist on the Cuban classic Presidente, which itself traces its roots back to the Manhattan. Rum-based and refreshingly unexpected, it’s a welcome departure from the traditional martini mold.
