Miami has always been a trendsetting city when it comes to nightlife. Now it’s going to set some new standards with this year’s National Cognac Day. Rémy Martin commissioned some of Miami’s most respected bartenders to make a couple cocktails that capture the spirit of the city’s nightlife in all its spicy, sweet, and savory forms.
