Lift Your Spirits: Drink up every bit of Comic
Thursday marks the first day of San Diego Comic-Con International, and while The Desert Sun has been celebrating early, it's time to take things up a notch. If you're on your way down to San Diego tonight, lift your spirits with a few choice Comic-Con-inspired cocktails in the Gaslamp Quarter.
Altitude Sky Lounge at the Marriott downtown has mixed up a Superman-inspired drink perfect to get your weekend going. It's a powerful yet sweet blend kind of like, well, Superman/Clark Kent. But if you're looking just for strength, the lounge also has a Thor's Hammer shot.

If comic book heroes aren't your thing, Andaz's RoofTop60 is also mixing up some gaming and sci-fi inspired drinks. The Beam Me Up Scotty Shot is one for Trekkies while those low on fuel can opt for a classic Mario Power Up cocktail. Staying in tonight to save up for the event? Mix a Superman and Beam Me Up Scotty Shot from the comfort of your own home.
