South Beach Hostel Backpacker
Nothing like stopping at a hostel on Miami Beach for a unique cocktail aptly called The Backpacker Cooler.
1/6/2010
Those seeking a cheap cocktail after browsing Ocean Drive are in luck if they decide to visit the South Beach Hostel’s intimate bar. The Backpacker Cooler served at the spot’s A-Bar is worth a try. A refreshing mix of vodka, mint tea and sauvignon blanc might sound odd, but once you taste the citrus-mint concoction you’ll be brought back to life. Or, at least be ready for your next adventure.
