The who's who of stars living in Miami is seemingly endless - Shakira, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Whitney Houston, Lenny Cravitz... You get the picture.
So a night in Miami is bound to be packed with celebrities, right?
Hence why there was no way I could miss Smirnoff's Exchange event, where they promised to bring the Miami way of nightlife right here to London while our friends across the pond were treated to a quintessential British party. Though I was disappointed that they didn't manage to bring the Floridian celeb massive to the Big Smoke, the night was a major success.
Walking to the Troxy nightclub as part of my trusty foursome (Ibiza crew), we were greeted by Miami police officers, accent and all, guiding us to our venue for the evening. Once we stepped in and picked up the obligatory VIP wristbands, Miami was at our feet and our fingertips. Bottomless Smirnoff Mule cocktails, mini burger canapes and palm trees galore. From our seats high in the wings, we grinded to Tinie Tempah, raved to Zane Lowe and bopped to Example. But once the final Miami-inspired act of the night took to the DJ booth, Jaguar Skills, we just had to join the masses to party until the lights came on at the end of the night.
So, OK, we had to walk the icy cold journey back to the tube station after the doors closed behind us. And there was no local beach to head to watch the sunrise. But for just a few hours we could pretend we were on the Atlantic coast rather than south-east London. And for that I can't thank Smirnoff enough. I raise my Miami Mule to you guys.
