Miami Vice is a cocktail that is best described as a fusion of Strawberry Daiquiri and Piña Colada. The drink originated in Miami—hence the name—and it was mostly enjoyed in nightclubs and beach bars. The cocktail is still popular in Miami, but it was at its peak during the 1980s and '90s.
To prepare the Miami Vice, two different cocktails have to be made. First, Piña Colada, made with rum, pineapple juice, coconut milk, and coconut cream. Then, Strawberry Daiquiri, which is made with rum, strawberries (preferably fresh strawberries), and fresh lime juice.
John Daly is a spiked version of Arnold Palmer. It is a cocktail that combines lemonade and iced tea—same as Arnold Palmer—but it gets the alcoholic kick from vodka. The drink is made by pouring vodka, iced tea, and lemonade in a highball filled with ice.
The combination is stirred, and the cocktail is usually garnished with a lemon wheel and sometimes with fresh mint. The drink got its name after John Daly, a popular American golfer that is also known for his controversial lifestyle. It is believed that the drink was probably invented in Fort Myers, Florida, during the Dirty Gator Open.
