Spring is here, vaccines are the talk of the town, beaches and pools are open, and reservations for restaurant tables are backed up—though conspicuously, bars are still required to shut, despite owners demonstrating with a hunger strike outside the government headquarters. A sobering reminder of the huge challenges that still face the F&B industry and the importance of supporting local businesses. Begin by indulging in these latest initiatives for the week ahead.

Zuma & Quinary Partner With Johnnie Walker & Copper Dog Whiskies For A Four-Way 'Japanese Circus' Cocktail Collaboration
There can never be too many mixologists behind the bar, as a limited-edition cocktail series bringing together Zuma, Quinary, Johnnie Walker and Copper Dog proves. Running until April 30, Zuma bar manager Lorenzo Coppola and Quinary founder Antonio Lai are each shaking up two original cocktails each—one made with Johnnie Walker Black Label, and the other with Copper Dog Speyside Blended Malt Whisky. The four cocktails were created with the theme of 'Japanese Circus' in mind, and balance the whiskies' distinctive personalities with Asian ingredients like lapsang souchong cordial, Japanese black vinegar, and hazelnut foam. Guests who finish a cocktail at either location will be given a casino chip, which they can spend at the second bar after polishing off a second drink to obtain a special edition cocktail shaker and jigger—all the better to take the theatrics home after the 10pm curfew.
