SHAKEN, STIRRED, AND SCOOPED: MESSINA AND MIUS UNVEIL MID-SUMMER COCKTAIL GELATO
The latest edition of Messina’s "The Scoop" serves up a surprising fusion of innovative mixology and artisan gelato making, bringing exactly the refreshing twist we need this summer.
Messina has partnered with cocktail bar MIUS, fresh off its impressive debut at No. 36 on the prestigious Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2026, for the newest iteration of "The Scoop" — an ongoing series celebrating exceptional local culinary innovators. From August 18 to August 31, 2026, guests can enjoy the best of their favourite gelato and cocktails combined into a refreshing experience.
Celebrated for her precise craftsmanship and balanced palate, MIUS, founder and award-winning mixologist Shelley Tai worked closely with the Messina team to distill her acclaimed bar program into a duo of clean and sophisticated gelato and sorbet:
APPLE-LY EVER AFTER (Inspired by MIUS' Gin and Apple): A crisp green apple sorbet swirled with aromatic coconut, lime leaf, and pandan sherbet, with an infusion of juniper berries for a nuanced, botanical finish. (Non-alcoholic, contains dairy)
A-MIUS-ING NEGRONI (Inspired by MIUS' Strawberry Negroni): A vibrant strawberry gelato infused with bold, bitter Italian amaro and a subtle kick of pink peppercorns, delivering a striking balance of sweetness and classic Negroni complexity for a truly elegant note. (Contains alcohol and dairy)
"At MIUS, we are always looking to tell stories through flavour, making Messina a natural partner," says Tai. "We wanted to capture the essence of our cocktails in a single scoop."
The limited-edition flavours will be available at both Messina Pottinger and Messina The Peak throughout the two-week run, while stocks last.
