Delirio Tiki Bar

1120 Collins Ave., Miami Beach
swizzlerumbardrinkery.comWhat if tiki was born in Mexico City? And what if the Zombie was created in Oaxaca? These are the questions a new Miami Beach cocktail bar aims to discover. At the Viajero Hostels in Miami Beach — next door to Swizzle Rum Bar & Drinkery — tiki imbibers can now find Delirio Tiki Bar. A collaboration between owner Danilo Bozovic and the Swizzle team, the bar will offer guests a Miami- and Latin American-themed tiki experience, with new cocktail creations from Bozovic himself. Opening Wednesday, June 1; open daily from 1 to 10 p.m.
