Kamran Mir’s ‘6 a.m. on 7th’ doughnut, available Sept. 1, 2024 at The Hub in Tampa, Florida.
The treat is actually a doughnut from the award-winning Supernatural food and wine shop next door—and it’s coated in a glaze inspired by Tampa’s official cocktail, the “6 a.m. on 7th Avenue.”
“Of all the 75th anniversary shenanigans I’ve had my hands in, this might be my favorite,” Kamran Mir wrote on social media.
Anyone reading this probably drinks too much so they might not remember the 2020 holiday when Mir took home top prize in Mayor Jane Castor’s “Crafting Tampa's Cocktail” competition with his blend of Bacardi rum, Galliano ristretto and Grand Marnier. Inspired by the cafe con leche, “6 a.m. on 7th Avenue” came served in a styrofoam cup and garnished with a guava and cheese pastry. “I used this opportunity to kind of tell the story of immigration into Tampa,” Mir said at the time.
Barflies will have to get up somewhat early to put their lips around the doughnut, too, since it’ll be part of a “Bossa Nova Brunch” Mir hosts on Sunday, Sept. 1 starting at noon. Bossa Joy will play music to ease you into the afternoon, and This Little Pig food truck will be parked outside of 719 N Franklin St. for you to put a base layer down ahead of a day of drinking.
Mir, whose band Urbane Cowboys plays The Hub on Sunday night, told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that the 30 doughnuts—topped with coffee and an orange zest—will be on sale for $5 each on a first-come, first-served basis.
Now, if The Hold Steady would just write a song about Kam already.
