The new spring cocktails at Time Out Market Chicago you need to try this season
The cherry blossoms are blooming, the temperatures are (graciously!) getting warmer and it's finally feeling like spring here in Chicago. What better way to toast the season than with a bright and fresh cocktail from the springy new drink menu at Time Out Market Chicago?
The Market bar has crafted a lineup of creative concoctions that are ideal for the pleasantly balmy temperatures. There's something for every type of spirit lover, whether agave-, whiskey- or vodka-based. Of course, there will be florals for spring: the Hibiscus Royale ($16) freshens up Patron Silver with St. German, hibiscus syrup, grapefruit and lemon, for example; while the Rose Gimlet ($14) starts with your choice of Bombay Sapphire Gin or house vodka and adds splashes of rose water bitters, Peychaud's bitters and lime juice.
For something fruitier, opt for the Citrus Got Real ($15), a vodka-based quaff with a bright pop of blood orange liqueur, grapefruit and lime. And, of course, warm-weather tippling simply isn't complete without a spritz. The Market will serve a classic Hugo Spritz ($15)—fresh and fizzy with St. Germain, prosecco and mint—for the season. You'll also find the Market's takes on crowd-pleasing cocktails like a whiskey mule, a sour and an espresso martini (the latter gets an extra jolt from house-made espresso mix and airy fee foam).
And with months of warm days ahead of us, our thoughts are also squarely on rooftop season

Royal fan tells King he's ‘more handsome in real life than on TV'
The King was offered a 'special discount' on an old watch as he toured an antiques stall at Old Spitalfields Market, in east London, on Thursday. Mobbed by members of the public as he arrived at the historic market in pouring rain, the monarch shook hands with dozens of shoppers and stall holders. Paul Brimmer told the King: 'I sell old watches, come by and I'll give you a really special discount.' He then joked: 'Oh, but you don't carry cash.' He added afterwards: 'I told him he's more handsome in real life than on the telly. He looks really well, doesn't he?' The King dropped into the market as he visited the South by Southwest Festival (SXSW) in Shoreditch. The event, which originated in Austin, Texas, is being held in London for the first time to celebrate creative and tech industries this week. He braved the heavy rain to stroll between festival sites and then over to the market, which was founded in 1682 when Charles II granted a Royal Charter for a market to be held on the site every Thursday and Saturday. Met on arrival by Eric Graham, the market's manager, he pottered around admiring an array of vintage cameras, maps, cutlery and other antiques. He expressed particular interest in a Persian-style lacquered box, telling the stall holder, who did not want to be identified, that he liked it. The King found common ground with Jules, another stall holder, over their shared interest in maps and telescopes. 'He was so lovely,' she said afterwards. 'He asked what I was interested in and I explained about early photography. I also like maps and telescopes, things like that, and he said: 'Yes, so do I.'' Malcolm McFarlan, a stall holder originally from Callander, Scotland, has been selling antiques at the market for around 18 years. 'He asked where they were from and how I'd come to be interested in it,' he said of his brief chat with the monarch. 'I said I was born into it. My parents owned an antiques shop and we lived above it.' As the King moved through the market, he was introduced to a tiny dog called Twiglet and asked one shopper about her green matcha tea drink. He asked Peter Filosidis, a stall holder who sold a vast array of items: 'How do you pack it up at the end of the day?' Mr Filosidis laughed and replied: 'It takes me hours.' The King told him: 'It's a very special profession. I'm stopping all these people from buying anything.' Charles had arrived earlier at SXSW to a performance by The Kingdom Choir at Ely's Yard before being greeted by Angela Rayner, the Deputy Prime Minister, Sir Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, and Eva Omaghomi, the King's former diversity czar who now chairs the festival's advisory council, among others. Earlier in the day, Ms Rayner had delivered a speech about sustainable communities. In the main exhibition space, the King was shown through an immersive art installation centred around sustainability, called Grounding. The video installation uses AI and data to morph landscape images on a loop, and is said to reflect how the natural world is constantly adapting and changing. The King met Damien Roach, the London-based artist, who explained the use of AI and the process of creating the installation. 'Everything you see is synthetic,' he said. 'I wanted to inspire understanding of the delicate and beautiful nature of our planet.' The King, a long-time environmental campaigner, also met speakers involved in a panel session called Love The Earth, which highlights the importance of nature, cultural preservation and indigenous cultures. He then stepped outside into the rain, turning down the offer of a lift in the state Bentley to walk around the corner to Christ Church, Spitalfields, under an umbrella. In the church's crypt, he viewed Beautiful Collisions, an exhibition exploring the contribution of artists from the Caribbean to British Art and Culture. He chatted at length to Grenada-born Denzil Forrester, one of the artists involved, who told the King how he goes to clubs and dance halls, sketching people dancing into the early hours. Mr Forrester explained that he often arrived at 10pm and did not leave until 5am. In response to the artist's drawing until dawn, the King said: 'Are you sure? You should be in bed!' One of Mr Forrester's pieces featured a picture of Haile Selassie, the last Ethiopian emperor, whom the King recalled meeting when he was a child at around eight years old. He said he was 'fascinated' by him and still had a gift he had received from Selassie. Mr Forrester gave the King one of his paintings, called The Congregation, which was inspired by dancers at a reggae event in Truro.

Love Island's Ekin-Su and Curtis Pritchard confirm split in awkward statement just months after show
Love Island All Stars' Ekin-Su has confirmed the rumours that she has split from Curtis Pritchard in a statement on Instagram, just three months after they finished up in third place on the ITV show. Love Island's Ekin-Su has confirmed that she has split from Curtis Pritchard just months after the pair starred on the ITV spin off series Love Island: All Stars together. Speculation has been rife among social media users that the couple had called time on their romance after they failed to post any snaps together online. Confirming the rumours, Ekin-Su said in a statement that they were both "focusing on navigating this transition". Her released statement, which has not been mirrored by Curtis, announced that they had agreed to "go [their] separate ways" and that it had been a "tough decision". No reason for their break-up was given. It added: "I wanted to share that Curtis and I have decided to go our separate ways. It's been a really tough decision, but one made with a lot of love and respect for one another. He's an incredible person and I'll always cherish the memories we made both in and out of the villa. Thank you all so much for the love and support over the past few months. "We're both focusing on navigating this transition and would really appreciate privacy during this time. Love always, Ekin-Su xX." The update comes after the couple fuelled speculation last week that their relationship was over after Curtis' solo appearance at the celeb packed Market Place St. Paul's VIP launch party, the Mirror reports. Meanwhile, Ekin also failed to mention Curtis while she was being quizzed about her love life during an interview. At the time, she replied: "Love, for me, is a deep bond, trust and being able to be completely yourself with someone... Love enables both individual development and growth together. "I find peaceful, safe and unexpected love valuable. This is exactly the definition of love for me." Ekin-Su and Curtis' split comes just weeks after winners Casey O'Gorman and Gabby Allen revealed that they had gone their separate ways. In a statement, the pair said: "After much thoughtful consideration, Gabby and Casey have decided to go their separate ways romantically. This decision was mutual, and they both remain on good terms as friends with a shared respect for each other." Of the five couples who reached the final earlier this year, only Grace Jackson and Luca Bish and Elma Pazar and Sammy Root are still thought to be together, just three months on. Omar Nyame and Catherine Agbaje split mere weeks after leaving the South African villa, with insiders claiming they never reached the "exclusive boyfriend-girlfriend stage" and that the romance had run its course. Back in March, Luca organised a romantic girlfriend 'proposal' on the beach in Dubai, assembling candles and white roses around a table for two adorned with candles and gold cutlery. Luca shared snaps of a delighted Grace kissing him in front of the display which featured a lit up neon 'sign that read Will you be my gf?' Captioning the snap, he wrote: "I'll keep this one. Thank you @fahidbcbybarbossa for bringing my vision to life so perfectly. Wouldn't have wanted to do this in any other place @visitabudhabi #AbuDhabiPartner #InAbuDhabi." Underneath, former Islander Jacques O'Neill joked: "Skipped straight to proposal nice mate." While Luca's sister Claudia wrote: "The perfect perfect addition to the family @gracexrosa."
