While many seek relief through protest and social media, cathartic efforts continue to pop up throughout our community. One of them is Tap 42's Parkland Pride. The cocktail, made with Ketel One vodka, blackberry purée, lemon, and thyme, is available March 1 through 14 at Tap 42's locations in Coral Gables, midtown Miami, Boca Raton, and Fort Lauderdale.

Museum of Ice Cream Extends Miami Beach Run. The Museum of Ice Cream (MOIC), which was expected to close February 26, has extended its stay in Miami Beach through April 29. MOIC reps say this will be the absolute final extension in Miami. The museum has welcomed upward of 100,000 visitors to taste, smell, touch, and photograph a collection of ice-cream paraphernalia. If you haven't had a chance to visit, the attraction is more comparable to an Instagram amusement park than a traditional museum. With sold-out runs in other cities, the Museum of Ice Cream expects a similar turnout for its third extension in Miami Beach. Tickets are available online only. Wednesday through Monday through April 29 in the Faena District, 3400 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; 855-258-0719; museumoficecream.com. Tickets cost $38 via museumoficecream.com/miami.
