Because Fort Lauderdale doesn’t have seasons, we rely on other cues to know the winter is coming: The exuberant display of holiday lights adorning the homes, shopping districts, and especially the boats. The people in party clothes, whether that means Santa hats and sparkly flip-flops, or cocktail dresses and Uber shoes. The swing from summer flavors to winter drinks is subtle. Rum, thought in other parts to be a summer drink, never goes out of season — chalk it up to the Latin influence or the fact that thousands of people are always en route to a Caribbean cruise. In the lead-up to Christmas and the winter season, people might drink it in coquito (Puerto Rican coconut eggnog) or punch instead of a pina colada, but there will always be a mojito on every menu.
