Head Bartender Valentino Longo likes to say Were taking the guest on a viaggio exploring the flavors and the ingredients from this amazing part of Italy. Here you have the sun,il sole. Positanos Sun is powerful and intense, yet sweet and romantic. It yields the best lemons, dries the tastiest tomatoes, and provides a rich life. We translate such delicate intensity with both Grappa and Mezcal. Just one sip and youll practically be basking in his burst of sunshine in a tall glass. As Pablo Picasso said, Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow spot into the sun. With my Sole, I hope I have succeeded in doing both. Its on the citrus side with both a hint of smoke and a hint of spicy. And super refreshingBal Harbour Coastal Tea - Artisan Beach House - Bal HarbourIngredientsGin infused with house-blend tea (chamomile, lavender seed, passionfruit flower), St Germain Liqueur, lemon juice, locally-sourced honey, cucumber soaked in St GermainBal Harbour Village is a ritzy enclave at the northern tip of Bal Harbour.

The food is incredible, but the reason it made this list is their White Cosmo. Trading traditional cranberry juice with white cranberry juice completely changes the flavor notes of the typically subtly sweet Cosmopolitan creating a smooth, light, and punchy cocktail. Boulud Sud is the perfect start to a night exploring Downtown Miami and the Brickell Corridor but close enough to head back to the beach later.Juvia1111 Lincoln Rd, Miami Beach, FL 33139(305) 763-8272Sweet Liberty237 20th St Suite B, Miami Beach, FL 33139(305) 763-8217Lido Bayside Grillat The Standard Spa, Miami Beach40 Island Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139(305) 673-1717Broken Shakerat Freehand Miami2727 Indian Creek Dr, Miami Beach, FL 33140(305) 531-2727Le Sirenuse Miamiat The Four Seasons Surfside9011 Collins Ave, Surfside, FL 33154(786) 482-2280Artisan Beach Houseat The Ritz-Carlton, Bal Harbour10295 Collins Ave, Bal Harbour, FL 33154(305) 455-5400Boulud Sud Miamiat JW Marriott Marquis Miami255 Biscayne Blvd Way, Miami, FL 33131(305) 421-8800This article originally appeared on TravelSquire.You might also enjoyNew neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happyStrangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds10 lessons from Benjamin Franklins daily schedule that will double your productivityThe worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs10 habits of mentally strong people

In Need of Job Search Mojo Switch up Your Workspace! In Need of Job Search Mojo Switch up Your Workspace! 10Job searching day after day in the same old environment can begin to make the process feel more tedious than it actually is. If you have reached that point and are in need of job search mojo, switch up your workspace for a change of scenery. Sometimes a change of energy, atmosphere, and routine can foster creativity and create an environment for more job search opportunities. Roadblocks during a job search can be frustrating, especially when you cannot figure out exactly what is causing a slow down. If you have reached the point where you feel things are coming to a halt, switch it up a little bit to get the job search success back. Here are some ideas to get your job search mojo back! Work from a Coffee Shop: The energy, sounds, and smells of a coffee shop workspace can not only throw you into a more social environment to make connections, but can also get you out of the rut youre stuck in. Shared Workspace: If you have friends or neighbors who are working from home or also job searching, try sharing a workspace for a day. Interacting with another person could reveal new ideas. Use Your Outside Space: If you can stand the weather, try to head outside for a change in scenery. It’s amazing what some fresh air and sunshine can do in an outdoor office. Go to Your Local Library: Many people try to job search from home, but if there are other adults or children around, the noise and interruptions could be stalling productivity. Check out the local library if you are looking for a quieter place to get work done. Get Creative at Home: Maybe you love your office chair and don’t want to go someplace else. Why not change up your home office? Moving the room around or even the configuration of your desk may provide enough of a break or change to get you thinking differently. Changing the atmosphere or the arrangement of your home office environment can help your mind to move from a rather stagnant place. Additionally, by getting out of your house to job search, you open up the opportunity to meet new clients or expand your professional network. Lets not also forget the added positives of bumping into friends you are looking to get in touch with or meeting other job seekers who are looking for the same inspiration you are.
