If you’ve been searching for the best cocktail classes in Miami, a unique date night experience, or a creative way to host your next birthday party, team building, or corporate event, this is the night to be at 7100.
🌴 Why Rum is So Fantastic
Rum is more than just a drink — it’s history, culture, and craftsmanship in a glass. Distilled from sugarcane byproducts like molasses or fresh cane juice, rum has been a staple of the Caribbean for centuries. Each island and region produces a unique expression, from light and crisp to dark, spiced, and full-bodied.
What makes rum so beloved is its versatility. It shines in a refreshing Mojito, balances beautifully in a Daiquiri, adds depth to a Cuba Libre, and brings tropical flair to classics like the Hotel Nacional or Hemingway Daiquiri. Whether you’re a seasoned cocktail lover or new to the spirit, rum is approachable, delicious, and endlessly fun to explore.
