John Lermayer
Miami

Hotel: The Delano

Bar: The Florida Room

Now reigning over the retro, Cuba-inspired basement den designed by Lenny Kravitz, 27-year veteran Lermayer was first lured to Miami from New York’s Hamptons with the chance to run the bar behind much-mourned nightclub Groove Jet. He’s a whiskey-loving standout who snagged first place in the Bar Chef Challenge at 2008’s Tales of the Cocktail (mixologists’ booze-sodden answer to the Olympics).

Signature Cocktail: Jackie Rose

  • 1 1/2 oz. Jack Daniels
  • 1 oz. rosemary simple
  • 1/2 oz. lemon juice
  • 2 dash maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 oz. apple cider

Shake, strain over ice into cut-crystal rocks glass, garnish with rosemary sprig and Amareno cherry, and serve.
