Football season meets cocktail culture at Cactus Club Cafe this summer with a limited-edition collaboration alongside Casamigos, Official Spirits Partner of FIFA. ⚽🍸
Available from June 11 through July 19, the special beverage lineup celebrates iconic moments, bold plays, and the global spirit of the game through flavor-driven cocktails inspired by football culture.
Leading the lineup is The Hand of God, a limited-time cocktail crafted with Casamigos Blanco tequila, lime, cucumber, pineapple, peppercorn, and capsicum bitters, finished with a melon ball garnish. Inspired by Diego Maradona’s legendary 1986 FIFA World Cup goal, the cocktail balances bright, refreshing flavors with a subtle heat for a finish that is both bold and unforgettable.
Available exclusively during FIFA World Cup season at Cactus Club Cafe Miami.
A new era behind the bar is arriving at Mama Tried. 🍸
Launching next month, the venue’s all-new cocktail menu—curated by newly appointed Bar Manager Robert Lang—shifts the focus from long narratives and overly conceptual drinks to something far more intentional: flavor, familiarity, execution, and the guest experience itself.
Inspired directly by what guests actually order and return for, the new program blends retro influences with modern twists while reflecting the room’s signature green, gold, and red aesthetic.
Highlights include No Regrets, a vibrant swizzle with rum, pineapple, mint, and Caribbean spices; a refreshed Amaretto Sour elevated with salted hazelnut syrup; and the standout Guava Cosmo, pairing Grey Goose L’Citron, St-Germain, and one of Miami’s most beloved flavors into a balanced, approachable cocktail designed for repeat orders.
The menu also pays tribute to Miami culture through drinks like The Colada, a cocktail-inspired take on the city’s iconic ventanita-style coffee.
Rooted in inspiration from some of New York and Miami’s top cocktail bars, the new menu ultimately stays true to Mama Tried’s crowd, balancing creativity with accessibility, nostalgia with innovation, and quality with fun.

Last night, Niño Gordo welcomed Zitz Sum for its Cooking with Friends series, blending both culinary identities into a special à la carte experience. It was my first time bringing my little foodie along for a mommy and me dinner.
We sat at the bar in front of the open kitchen, where the experience felt even more alive, watching each dish come together, face-to-face with the chefs Ghian Polke (Niño Gordo) and Pablo Zitxmann, Zitz Sum’s Chef & Owner.
From the delicate Hokkaido scallops to the indulgent Udon Carbonara from Zitz Sum, and the Fish of the Day from Niño Gordo, every bite felt thoughtful and full of flavor.
My daughter enjoyed their signature mocktail, “Lola Menta,” while I had a house-recommended Sake. It was one of those nights you wish could linger a little longer.
Warm, vibrant, and delicious from start to finish.
