LiquorSplit is a South Florida startup dedicated to bringing the most amazing delivery experience of liquor, beer, wine, and more to your door at great prices. LiquorSplit released an all-new mobile app and opened shop in Tampa.
Since the pandemic, Miamians have followed the national trend of continuing to shop online for food and essentials. However, consumers everywhere are facing surging markups, service and hidden fees that put a heavy toll on convenience.
LiquorSplit presents the only liquor app that allows consumers to buy fast liquor online while saving them time and money.
How? LiquorSplit is both the delivery app and the liquor store; it controls the inventory, the technology and the gig force all together in one superior model. Now, Miamians can order directly from one of the business’ micro-distribution hubs or “distys” –as the company has coined them –and have it delivered to their homes cheaper than going to the liquor store.
By downloading the app, customers will be able to see the same inventory that exists in the distys and at the same price, have it delivered by a trained LiquorSplit employee and pay only a $2.99 flat delivery fee. Being a young local startup, LiquorSplit feels very strongly about giving back to the community. Hence, together with the launch of its new app the company has taken the “Every delivery makes a difference” pledge.
LiquorSplit has a special offer for the Miami Guide listeners and is now offering an alluring discount of 15% OFF with the code: MIAGUIDE at checkout!

KOPU spring water is exceptionally smooth in taste and naturally alkaline with a pH of 8.0. KOPU Sparkling water has award-winning fine champagne-like bubbles that elegantly hydrate. Body-fortifying minerals include calcium, magnesium and potassium as well as naturally occurring silica, which is known as the “beauty mineral” and is a building block of collagen.

KOPU is a thoughtful alternative to imported bottled water brands and is exclusively sold within fine dining restaurants and other dining venues within luxury hotels.
