Sponsored by: Keep Your Gin Up Remember the Cosmopolitan and the Appletini? Each year ushers in its own cocktail trend, and our sources say you should get your hands on a bottle of gin—stat.Below are three old-fashioned favorites sure to make it to our bar tab.

Tom Collins: Gin, lemon juice, seltzer and sugar have never combined so perfectly. Dating back to the late 19th century, this drink is notable for its refreshing taste and vibrant citrus kick. Singapore Sling: Hailing from Singapore’s Raffles Hotel, this classic cocktail calls for gin, pineapple juice, Benedictine and Cherry Heering. Sweet, sour and very strong, it’s easy to see why this beverage has stuck around for nearly a century. Sloe Gin Fizz: The granddaddy of pre- Prohibition cocktails, the Sloe Gin Fizz combines a blackthorn plum-flavored, or “sloe,” gin with lemon juice, sugar, egg white and seltzer. So delicious it’s probably why Prohibition was repealed. —Paul Adler

Beauty Rehab If you’re like us, you’re feeling the effects of the holidays. Late nights and too many parties may have left your skin looking like a very worn- out handbag. Have no fear! We have a few fast fixes and we’re willing to share. Clear Improvement by Origins is an active charcoal mask that pulls dirt and oil from your pores and reveals an instantly brighter complexion. Drink Up (also by Origins) drenches dehydrated skin with moisture without clogging pores and Chanel’s Precision Ultra Correction Total Eye Revitalizer delivers a shot of hydration that will take years off your face. For a body boost, head to G2O Spa for their Lavender Dreams What Boston’s buzzing about Ultimate Experience, which includes a lavender-infused body scrub, body 1.9.12 massage, scalp treatment and foot massage. —Samantha House Listen Up Upon entering many galleries we’re warned: “Don’t touch the art.” That’s something you won’t hear at Alison Kotin’s exhibit, Listen Close. In fact, the opposite is true. Her exhibit, featured at Bromfield Gallery (450 Harrison Ave., 617-451-3605), involves a series of pieces using audience interaction to create sounds with each touch. Kotin says she is “interested in the experience the object evokes.” One piece is made of 48 cat whiskers which seemingly grow out of a wooden box. With the light stroke of a whisker, you’ll hear a beautiful chorus harmonizing. Another piece shares its secrets with you, whispering stories of Kotin’s dreams when the lid is opened on an old cigar box. A visit to this gallery is sure to offer you a one-of-a-kind experience.—Bailey Marquis Hubbub 6 Panorama Beauty: photo, sarah winchester; model, jessica rawlins Raise Your Glass The Boston Wine Expo Seaport World Trade Center & Seaport Hotel, 200 Seaport Blvd., Jan 21 & 22.
