Put an end to your sugar cravings at these SOBEWFF events

The first thing you might notice is that nighttime soirees seem to be a trend on the sweet side of the South Beach Wine & Food Festival.

The Salty, Sweet & Savory Treats: A Late-Night on Friday, Feb. 24 is a casual, poolside party for people unbothered by sugar and calories. A Miami favorite, The Salty Donut, is partnering with the Broken Shaker and Sasparilla Club (at least for the evening).

The Salty Donut continues to excite fans with its lineup of creative artisan pastries, while the bartenders at the Broken Shaker have been nicknamed “Cocktail Gurus.” Together, they will keep the cocktails and the desserts coming all night long.

Pairing food and drinks from local talent and internationally acclaimed chefs has made the South Beach Wine & Food Festival an undisputed success. And for all the people out there with a sweet tooth, the marriage between booze and dessert is a match made in heaven. If you identify with your fellow sugar-craving humans and enjoy to throw one back, too, then Cocktail Time Machine Experience is the event for you.

The event features Anthony Fellows of HipPOPS, which boasts of its nontraditional gelato and sorbet popsicles, and Zombie Ice, which is the food truck behind modern shaved ice.
