Buy one cocktail, get one for a penny (while pennies still exist)? We'll sip to that.

Pennies may be riding off into the sunset, but Hyatt Centric Las Olas is giving them one last hurrah. Harborwood Urban Kitchen & Bar just launched a cheeky happy hour special that turns your final copper coins into liquid gold.
“Pennies are on the way out, so let's give them a farewell tour and make them count,” Katherine Beja-Mclennan, area director of sales and marketing, tells Browardist. “[So,] buy a Money Penny and keep the happy hour flowing for just one cent more.”.
Through December 31, the downtown Fort Lauderdale hotspot is serving its signature Money Penny cocktail at a buy one (for $12), get one for just one penny deal. Available on special Sunday through Thursday from 3 to 7 p.m. at the bar, the drink blends into a sippable sendoff to America’s tiniest tender.
The drink’s ingredients include gin, dry vermouth, fresh squeezed lemon and grapefruit juices – all shaken and served over dried grapefruit ice. Whether you’re a local, a visitor or one of the many after-work sippers wandering Las Olas, this is the easiest way to “mint” the moment.
And because this all unfolds inside Hyatt Centric Las Olas, you can pair your penny fun with skyline views, sleek design and the kind of lobby buzz only a boutique-in-the-heart-of-it-all can deliver. Grab a seat, raise a glass and toast the final chapter of the penny era while the promotion lasts.
