Miami's Best Eats and Drinks This Weekend: Supercon Cocktails, Barbecues, and a Bacon Crawl

It's Fourth of July weekend and, while the big show is Monday, there are plenty of things to do the rest of the weekend. You can drink in your favorite superhero, go on a bacon and beer crawl, or enjoy a poolside mango-themed barbecue with a special pop-up guest, the Salty Donut.

Then, prepare to watch fireworks on Monday, July 4, as we celebrate our nation's independence. 

Happy birthday, America! Weekend starts now!
Supercon Cocktails
Florida Supercon returns this Friday through Monday to the Miami Beach Convention Center for a weekend of celebrities, comic books, and cosplay. Blue Moon Hotel (944 Collins Ave.) in South Beach wants you to literally drink in the whole experience with its collection of handcrafted cocktails inspired by superheroes. Each cocktail is $15, including the Iron Man (Scotch, orange juice, grenadine, and Drambuie), Captain America (blue Curacao, crème de cacao, and grenadine), the Hulk (Midori, absinthe, and Mountain Dew), God of Thunder (mead, lingonberry vodka, and berry liquor), Black Widow (Kahlua, vodka, and espresso), and Hawk Eye (Strongbow, WKD purple, and Aftershock).
Bacon and Beer Crawl
When bacon meets beer, there's sure to be fireworks. That's what the bacon and beer crawl is counting on. Dress in red, white, and blue while you scarf down local and national beers paired with bacon-y goodness from local restaurants. The crawl starts at Blue Martini in Brickell (900 S. Miami Ave.) on Saturday,  July 2, at 3:30 p.m., with attendees making various stops for beer and bacon throughout downtown Miami. The crawl costs $30 (VIP is $50) and tickets are available at eventbrite.com.
