Each is \u2018born from a function to mean something even when they pretend not to\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The menu is divided into five sections: Aperire (aperitivo cocktails), Exciting (dynamic cocktails), Aphrodisiac (spicy cocktails), Relaxing (\u2018Martini-ish\u2019 cocktails), and Digestive (digestifs).<\/p>\n<p>New drinks include the Melavista, in the Aperire section, which is made with Tio Pepe Sherry, apple, \u2018pomm\u2019 and bubbles. The cocktail is described as \u2018like your favourite apple soda with a view\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>From the Exciting section, ZigZag is a Mexican-inspired Espresso Martini, combining Del Maguey Puebla mezcal, horchata, espresso, almond and Frangelico.<\/p>\n<p>Parthenope from the Aphrodisiac section is described as if a \u2018Margarita and a Paloma fell in love on the shore\u2019. The force-carbonated serve is made with Patr\u00f3n Reposado, mandarin, Alma Finca, fennel and basil.<\/p>\n<p>The Puttanesca Martini, meanwhile, combines Grey Goose vodka, olive oil, caper leaf, Noilly Prat and Castelvetrano brine.<\/p>\n<p>The Digestivo section offers Forza!, a Manhattan riff made with Old Forester Bourbon, Italicus, Cocchi Dopo Teatro, oloroso Sherry and blackcurrant.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ViceVersa Miami Sgroppino\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Sgroppino-350x350.jpg\" data- class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-898139 lazyload\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-898139\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Sgroppino-350x350.jpg\" alt=\"ViceVersa Miami Sgroppino\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\"  \/>The Sgroppino blends Coding Tequila Blanco, Italicus, ros\u00e9 wine and lemon<\/p>\n<p>The Manifesto of Nonsense replaces the opening menu, although the Negroni Family has remained and been bolstered by a Boulevardier and a White Negroni, made with the bar\u2019s own white vermouth blend, gin, Italicus, Luxardo bitter bianco, and a mix of Buddha\u2019s hand and etrog citrus.<\/p>\n<p>A few other signatures have also been kept on, such as the Martini Doppio, Amaro Old Fashioned, and Affogato Martini.<\/p>\n<p>Modern-day Italian futurist artist Jean Vaquier, AKA Folzer, has illustrated the pages with representations of the drinks and their themes. These illustrations come to life as prints on ViceVersa\u2019s walls and are the inspiration behind the venue\u2019s new merchandise.<\/p>\n<p>The new cocktails range in price from US$16 to US$18. The bar offers a Happy Hour with US$10 cocktails between 5pm and 7pm, Tuesday to Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, Latin American-inspired restaurant, bar and lounge <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespiritsbusiness.com\/2025\/10\/amazonico-opens-in-miami\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Amaz\u00f3nico opened in Miami<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Related news<\/p>\n<p>\n                                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespiritsbusiness.com\/2025\/10\/revery-bar-bases-cocktail-menu-on-daydreams\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n                                    Revery Bar bases cocktail menu on daydreams<br \/>\n                                <\/a>\n                            <\/p>\n<p>\n                                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespiritsbusiness.com\/2025\/10\/cocktail-menu-captures-bangkoks-colourful-dynamism\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n                                    Cocktail menu captures Bangkok\u2019s \u2018colourful dynamism\u2019<br \/>\n                                <\/a>\n                            <\/p>\n<p>\n                                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespiritsbusiness.com\/2025\/09\/himkok-menu-imagines-cocktail-as-a-lamp\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n                                    Himkok menu imagines cocktail as a lamp<br \/>\n                                <\/a>\n                            <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aperitivo bar ViceVersa in Miami, Florida, has launched The Manifesto of Nonsense, a cocktail menu inspired by the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13721,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[12154,123,125,124,12155,628],"class_list":{"0":"post-13720","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-miami","8":"tag-cocktail-menu","9":"tag-miami","10":"tag-miami-headlines","11":"tag-miami-news","12":"tag-on-trade","13":"tag-us"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13720","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13720"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13720\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
