Barbie and Ken's new film from producer Greta Gerwig premieres Friday, July 21. When it does, the IRL take on the iconic blonde doll — this time starring Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken — will undoubtedly deliver all the nostalgic Mattel vibes you could hope for.
When creating Barbie Land, it's rumored the movie caused a global pink paint shortage thanks to its over-the-top, fuschia-hued sets and scenes.
Regardless of whether you plan to see the movie, you can still celebrate the iconic couple's big-screen debut with all the pink-themed food and drink Miami offers. Here are our picks for the most creative pink drinks to toast Barbie in the Magic City.
Beauty & The Butcher

Made with gin, bergamot liqueur, and a malbec-hibiscus reduction, this hot-pink stunner is a fine accompaniment while you peruse the menu at Ford's Coral Gables restaurant. Favorites here include sharable dishes like the dry-aged Japanese yellowtail crudo, a Wagyu beef tenderloin, and, for dessert, the honey-roasted Dutch baby.
