For each one sold, one dollar of the locally inspired shareable plate — spring rolls packed with house-smoked chimichurri pork, ham, cheese, black beans, and grilled pineapple served with mustard and sweet chili dipping sauces — will go to Girls Make Beats, a Hia- leah-based nonprofit organization that em- powers girls by expanding the female presence of music producers, DJs, and audio engineers. At the bar, cocktails are served with a show, from the photographable “Smoking Painkiller” that arrives in a smoke-filled trea- sure chest or the spiced pineapple mezcal margarita. A drink that took nearly a year to perfect, it’s served with a house-made jala- peño hellfire popsicle that, as it melts, turns the drink from sweet to spicy. “For Puttshack, the draw is not only the game — one you can’t get anywhere else — but also the food and beverage,” sums up Vrankin. “It’s tying the entire experience to- gether that really creates the memories.” Puttshack. 701 S.
