Still seeking the ultimate refreshing treat to help you cool down in this weather? Hoping the treat includes some alcohol as well? You're in luck, as two of Hong Kong’s most exciting names in desserts and drinks are joining forces for a limited-time summer treat!

Local favorite gelateria Messina has teamed up with Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2026 newcomer MIUS to turn some of the bar’s signature cocktails into two new irresistible gelato and sherbet flavors.

Their "The Scoop" collaboration features two exclusive flavors inspired by cocktails created by MIUS founder and award-winning mixologist Shelley Tai. Known for her balanced, precision-driven approach behind the bar, she has worked with the Messina team to transform two of MIUS’ most popular drinks into frozen form.

The lineup includes Apple-ly Ever After, a non-alcoholic creation inspired by MIUS’ Gin and Apple cocktail. The scoop combines crisp green apple sorbet with coconut, lime leaf, pandan sherbet, and juniper berries for a refreshing, botanical finish.

Meanwhile, A-MIUS-ing Negroni (alcoholic) draws from the bar’s Strawberry Negroni, blending strawberry gelato with Italian amaro and pink peppercorns for a sweet yet bittersweet flavor profile that echoes the classic cocktail.

Available from Aug. 18-31, 2026, the limited-edition flavors can be found at both Messina Pottinger Street and Messina Peak branches. Quantities are limited each day, so those curious to see how a cocktail tastes by the scoop may want to get in early.
