Sexy Fish Celebrates 10th Anniversary With A Special Cocktail Menu

Forbes14 hours ago
The Son of Gibraltar
Sexy Fish is celebrating its 10th anniversary with the launch of its 10th cocktail menu. Aptly named, X, this exciting and innovative menu is now available at all Sexy Fish locations: London, Manchester, Miami, and Dubai.
Since arriving at Mayfair's Berkeley Square in 2015, Sexy Fish has become well-known for its dedicated beverage program that includes expertly crafted cocktails, the world's largest collection of Japanese whisky, and a reputation for one of the best Champagne lists in the city — in fact, the Miami location boasts the largest collection of Opus One outside of Napa Valley.
Elderflower Raspberry non-alcoholic cocktail
This special anniversary-inspired menu is filled with 20 cocktails that are reimagined versions of the most iconic cocktails to ever grace the Sexy Fish menu, but they've been reworked with the modern drinker in mind.
'We drew inspiration from the concept of Kaizen, which focuses on continuous improvement,' says Gabriel Morales, Bar Director at Sexy Fish Miami. 'That idea became the core of X, our 10th anniversary cocktail list.' The team worked together to pick standout cocktails from past menus and reimagined them through the lens of everything they've learned over the years. 'It's a tribute to our evolution, combining memory with mastery,' says Morales.
From bold, high-strength signatures to mid-strength twists and low-ABV options, each cocktail tells a story, drawing on industries, collaborators, and guests that have passed through its doors, spanning fashion, high art, Japanese culture, and milestone moments that have shaped the Sexy Fish identity.
'It's a true team effort across all Sexy Fish locations,' explains Morales. 'It starts with each place brainstorming internally, then we come together globally to align on the concept. After we finalize that, anyone can join the development process.' Everyone from barbacks to bartenders, and managers are all encouraged to contribute. Then the ideas are submitted and tested locally, then refined and recreated in Sexy Fish's London lab.
'In January, we flew all the Head Bartenders from each Sexy Fish location to London to taste, finalize specifications, and fine-tune glassware,' he continues. 'From there, each restaurant began sourcing ingredients and preparing new materials for both bar and floor teams. The amount of planning, logistics, and training involved is similar to launching a brand-new bar.'
Yuzu Mint
The full menu features ten alcoholic and ten no-low ABV serves, each carefully modernized using advanced techniques, refined ingredients, and a fresh approach to balance and presentation.
A new fan favorite cocktail is the Miso Thirsty, a bold reimagining of a house favorite from Sexy Fish's 2015 opening menu, made with Hibiki Harmony Whisky, miso, plum, and sesame, a nod to Sexy Fish's unrivaled Japanese whisky collection and its playful spirit. Another is the Fit as a Fiddle, which is a playful, low-ABV, and beautifully layered option that's made using Código 1530 Rosa Tequila, pineapple, yuzu, coconut, and hibiscus. This drink is an embodiment of 'naughty and nice' and thoroughly Sexy Fish in style. 'It's a reinvention of the 2015 iteration,' says Morales.
Super Magic Monkey cocktail
The Super Magic Monkey is inspired by the bar team's travels to Shanghai, channeling the spirit of the Silk Road, and it first appeared on the Sexy Fish menu in 2019. This cocktail is made with Altamura Vodka, pineapple, citrus, ginger, gochujang, coconut, and whey. It was a hit in 2019 and is still a classic amongst Sexy Fish fans globally.
The 10th Anniversary cocktail list has been curated by Xavier Landais, Director of Beverage at Caprice Holdings, who has been with Sexy Fish and Caprice Holdings for two decades. Developed alongside his teams in Miami, Dubai, Manchester, and London, this menu represents a culmination of months of development and a commitment to exceeding and predicting the changing consumer demands at Sexy Fish and beyond.
'Our Miami bar team really leaned into the R&D process for this latest evolution of the cocktail program,' says Morales. 'We revisited several favorites from past menus and reimagined them from the ground up. Miami ended up contributing six of the twenty cocktails featured in X, including fresh takes like the 'Yuzu & Mint' — a drink I worked closely on that began as a whiskey Mojito and transformed into a bold, whiskey-forward white Negroni.' He says it's a perfect example of how they pushed both creativity and flavor to new heights.
'We crafted it as a complex cocktail with Toki Japanese Whisky, house-made mint cordial, a Luxardo Bitter Bianco macerated with yuzu peel, and Martini Ambrato vermouth infused with butter and white miso,' explains Morales. 'The miso infusion was the most challenging. At first, it overwhelmed the drink and was hard to strain. We finally found the right balance through careful layering and technique. The result is elegant, savory, and unique. Exactly what we aimed for.'
This exciting cocktail menu is out and available now across Sexy Fish locations all over the world and will be featured for the next year.

Huishan Zhang's latest line channels socialites and sophistication.

Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang For his Resort 2026 collection, London-based designer Huishan Zhang looked to one of the most infamous New York socialites, Nan Kempner. A woman known for her presence and influence in fashion and society, she was a generation-defining socialite who's circle included the chic and and the cultured, from Yves Saint Laurent (he once described her having 'the body of a hanger' which she took as the highest compliment), to Diana Vreeland, Bill Blass, and fellow uptown girl Babe Paley. Nan Kempner and Kenneth Jay Lane, preview, Christie's auction house, New York, New York, 1989. (Photo by) Getty Images She exuded elegance but she wasn't without a rebellious streak, famously dining at a brasserie in just her Saint Laurent blazer after being told trousers weren't allowed. It was defiance but Nan made it chic, and it's exactly this spirit that Zhang channels in his latest collection. Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang Expect his signature head-turning silhouettes, sophistication and feminine strength, as well as embroidery that serves as both intricate decoration and armor. Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang Here, Zhang talks about his latest collection, from muses to couture mastery, structure to softness, and eternal elegance. Huishan Zhang: For me, Nan's beauty truly embodies a natural sophistication that is paired with a rebellious spirit that is totally unapologetic yet so refined. This is what really sets the tone for this collection. We can't talk about Nan without mentioning that iconic moment of her removing her Saint Laurent trousers and nonchalantly wearing just the jacket to dine at a brasserie. Her confidence is assertive but with no intention to intimidate. That's exactly the spirit that I wanted to capture for Resort 26. Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang HZ: Elegance versus rebellion is a key theme that runs through this collection. Nan's rebellion was never loud or vulgar but always quietly confident and effortlessly elegant. That was the energy I wanted to convey in this collection and in the clothes. From the strength of the tailoring and structure of the tweed sets, and subversiveness of our faux leather that is balanced by the sensuality of the embroidered slip dresses and the softness and fluidity of the evening wear. It's this idea of the elements that contrast harmoniously coinciding together. Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang FC: How did you approach the tension between masculine tailoring and feminine detail? HZ: It goes back to this interplay between softness and structure. I wanted to build a synergy between the juxtaposition of masculine tailoring and feminine sensuality. The silhouette in the collection is defined by the tension between fluidity and form. Structure builds the core of this collection, and the fluid fabrics, delicate sheer layering and intricate embellishments gives character and emotion. Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang FC: The embroidery is described as both armour and adornment, which look reflects this the most? HZ: Look 3 is a good reflection of this notion. The embroidery and embellishment on the sensual sheer soft slip skirt adds a decadent and decorative element, but it also creates a layer of weight and structure that accentuates the silhouette and acts as a protective cage-like armour that shields the lower body. Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang FC: How does the Resort 2026 collection connect to what you've done before and where you're going? HZ: For me it's about creating a design language that consistently continues to empower confidence in femininity, and to reinforce the strength of quiet elegance. For Resort 2026, I wanted to make the identity and portrait of our woman more vivid and assertive, and how she dresses and what she wears is just a natural extension of her character. Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang FC: What's one detail in this collection that people might miss but that means a lot to you? HZ: The fabrication in all the tailoring pieces in this collection has elasticity in them, which you will not be aware of from just the images. Although the cuts are structured and tailored in its silhouette, the stretch in the fabric allows for movement and comfort. It's important for me that the woman wearing my collections feels confident and can approach her every day with ease. The feeling of restraint and restriction in clothing kills one's confidence completely. Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang FC: What's one rule of elegant dressing that always guides your approach? HZ: The one rule to elegant dressing is that it needs to feel natural and not imposed. For me, true elegance comes from within, and the clothing and how your dress should just effortlessly compliment that. Huishan Zhang Resort '26 collection Huishan Zhang See more on

J-Hope and GloRilla Flee the Scene on New Song ‘Killin' It Girl'

BTS' J-Hope is back with another new single, 'Killin' It Girl,' featuring a guest verse from Memphis rapper GloRilla. Produced by Cirkut, Inverness, and Blake Slatkin the track starts off with a spare but propulsive beat that eventually opens up on the chorus with big pop synths. J-Hope delivers a verse filled with dumbstruck devotion — 'Looking like a twenty from Korea to Miami/Oh, I wanna get with you in the worst way' — while GloRilla breezes through self-assured bars like, 'Murder for hire, Mike Glo Myers/Keep my foot up on they necks and my heels high/Might take your man and tell you go take it to trial.'

While J-Hope and Glo clearly had to film their parts in two different places, both appear in the clip, with a black cat providing the link between the two locales. This is the fourth single J-Hope has released this year, following 'LV Bag' with Don Toliver, Speedy, and Pharrell, 'Sweet Dreams' with Miguel, and 'Mona Lisa.' The flood of new music comes after J-Hope completed his mandatory military service in South Korea last October. As for GloRilla, she dropped her debut album Glorious last October, and since then she's shared one new solo single 'Type.' She's featured on new tracks by Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, Gelo, Jorjiana. In an interview with Rolling Stone back in March, J-Hope spoke about how his time in the service allowed him to seek out new influences. 'I think the period of rest that naturally came with the situation actually became an opportunity for more exploration,' he said. 'I found a lot of new inspiration and got to spend much time thinking about the future. I also started making plans for what I want to do once I complete my military service.' Before his enlistment, J-Hope released his debut solo album, Jack in the Box, while back in March 2024, he shared a few extra songs on the Hope on the Street Vol. 1 EP. As for BTS, nearly every member of the group has completed their mandatory military service. Earlier this week, Jimin, Jungkook, RM, and V all received their discharge orders, joining J-Hope and Jin, who completed their service lat year. Only Suga still has some time left, but he's set to be discharged later this month.

'Red Eye' ending explained: Who wins Cillian Murphy and Rachel McAdams' face-off at 40,000 feet?

Red Eye, Wes Craven's 2005 thriller starring Rachel McAdams and Cillian Murphy, is now streaming on Netflix. EW's critic previously praised the film as a "quick-and-dirty suspense corker." Brian Cox and Jayma Mays round out the Murphy and Rachel McAdams were both recent breakout stars when horror maestro Wes Craven cast the pair in Red Eye, a trim 2005 thriller that recently arrived at Netflix. The movie begins like a rom-com, with McAdams' high-strung Lisa and Murphy's charming Jackson meeting in line at the Dallas airport before sharing a drink and being seated side-by-side for their overnight flight to Miami. Once they're in the air, however, things get weird. And then they get scary. "A good measure of the movie's white-knuckle fun comes from Craven's old-hand familiarity with the way thrillers tick, predicated on the smallest and most banal of missed connections, the kind that get an audience to go crazy," Entertainment Weekly's critic wrote in their review, calling Red Eye a "quick-and-dirty suspense corker." Murphy, however, may disagree. "I don't think it's a good movie," the Oscar-winning actor told GQ last year. "It's a good B movie." C'mon, Murph, they can't all be Oppenheimer. Ahead of the film's 20th anniversary next month — and with the streaming generation discovering it for the first time — let's unpack Red Eye's ending, from the identity of Murphy's peculiar Jackson to that explosive assassination attempt. Lisa is a self-described "people pleaser," the manager of a luxe Miami hotel where she's routinely bulldozed by high-end clientele. Jackson is a handsome stranger she meets at the airport while traveling back home from Dallas after her grandmother's funeral. At first, it seems as if fate has brought the two together, with the pair sharing a drink after meeting in line and then serendipitously ending up seated next to each other. But his charm curdles once he reveals a deep knowledge of her life. He needs her help, and if she doesn't give it to him, her oblivious father, Joe (Brian Cox), will be killed by a hit man waiting outside his home. Jackson's plan involves Charles Keefe (Jack Scalia), the Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security, who recently made waves with aggressive rhetoric regarding the United States' war on terror. (Remember, Red Eye was filmed in the wake of 9/11 and amid the Iraq War.) Keefe booked a stay at Lisa's hotel, and Jackson wants her to move him (and his family) to a different room so his employers can more easily assassinate him. During the overnight flight, Lisa makes several efforts to alert the flight attendants and other passengers that she's in danger — including writing in soap on the bathroom mirror that Jackson has a bomb — but he remains a step ahead of her at every turn. Finally, Lisa relents and makes the call, ordering her employee, Cynthia (Jayma Mays), to change Keefe's room assignment, as mandated by Jackson. Jackson Rippner — never "Jack," lest his name echo the 19th-century serial killer "Jack the Ripper" — denies being a spy, hit man, CIA agent, or member of the mafia. While his occupation is never explicitly stated, he calls himself a "manager" and says he specializes in "government overthrows [and] flashy, high-profile assassinations." If taken at his word, Jackson is a hired gun to help facilitate acts of terrorism. After all, he doesn't seem personally invested in Keefe's murder. "Somebody wants to send a big, brash message, that's their business," he tells Lisa. No, Keefe and his family survive the assassination attempt — a missile fired from a nearby fishing boat. Luckily for him, Lisa manages to flee Jackson, call Cynthia, and alert Keefe's security detail (which is led, oddly enough, by Survivor alum Colby Donaldson in one of his few film performances). The missile, however, meets its target, igniting the upper floors of the hotel and throwing debris. As the plane touches down in Miami, Lisa tells Jackson about a scar he noticed on her chest. She got it, she explains, from a sexual assault that occurred two years previously. "Ever since, I've been trying to convince myself of one thing over and over," she says. "That it was beyond your control," Jackson replies. "No, that it would never happen again." With that, she wields a pen stolen from another passenger and jams it into his windpipe. In the ensuing chaos, she makes a break for the exit and sprints into the airport. She's chased first by security and then by Jackson, who wraps a scarf around his wound and wheezes onward. Lisa then manages to elude her pursuers by hopping on a shuttle and stealing a car. She immediately drives to her father's home. There, she spots the hit man outside Joe's apartment and slams into him with the car, sending him flying through the front of the building and killing him. Though still alive, Joe is soon knocked unconscious by a bloodthirsty Jackson, who's determined to kill Lisa. The pair fight throughout the apartment, and Jackson is finally bested by two gunshots from the hit man's silenced pistol — one fired by Lisa and one by Joe, who wakes up to find his daughter in danger. Red Eye ends with Lisa going to her hotel, where Keefe thanks her for saving his family's life. She's then approached by a pair of rude hotel guests we first glimpsed in the film's opening scene. After complaining about the explosion, they demand that Lisa fire Cynthia.
