Citadelle Gin partners with MGallery
Maison Ferrand-owned Citadelle Gin has teamed up with MGallery Hotel Collection and Maison Sarah Lavoine to celebrate World Cocktail Month.
A trio of limited edition cocktails will be served in Lavoine glassware at more than 120 MGallery hotels and bars from 13 May until 31 August.
Alexandre Gabriel, master blender and creator of Citadelle Gin, said: “Great mixology is a delicate balance of creativity and precision – an art form that transforms quality ingredients into extraordinary experiences. It is also a powerful tool to enhance hospitality, creating moments of connection and discovery.
“At Citadelle Gin, we are passionate about crafting spirits that reflect both innovation and authenticity. Our collaboration with MGallery Collection and Maison Sarah Lavoine is a true celebration of that artistry, where design and flavour come together seamlessly to elevate the guest experience.”
The three cocktails include the Crystal Diva, which features Citadelle Gin Original, fino Sherry, jasmine, lemongrass cordial, and orange blossom. The stirred cocktail is presented in a Maison Sarah Lavoine Nick & Nora coupe, garnished with a white chocolate shard and a touch of jasmine and lemongrass, paying tribute to the classic Gimlet cocktail.
The Timeless Negroni combines sandalwood-infused Citadelle Gin Original, red vermouth, and Italian bitters infused with pineapple and pandan. Served in a Maison Sarah Lavoine Old Fashioned tumbler with a 5cm oval ice cube, it is garnished with pineapple and pandan leather.
To conclude, The Honey 75 blends Citadelle that has been fat-washed with local olive oil, verjus, salted honey, orange, and cardamom syrup. The cocktail is topped with Pommery Champagne in a Maison Sarah Lavoine Coupe.
The three creations, available as alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails, will be added to the permanent MGallery cocktail menu.
Xavier Royaux, chief marketing officer of MGallery, commented: “Mixology is an expression of art at MGallery, and to have three exceptionally unique cocktails crafted with Citadelle Gin specifically for each of the Maison Sarah Lavoine glasses really takes the ‘art of the pour’ to a new level.
“We’re excited to bring a new blend of flavours that create space for visitors to immerse themselves in the moment, to build new memories and connections while sipping these one-of-a-kind mixes.”
Served to impress
The glassware for the cocktails has been crafted to ‘elevate every sip into a special moment’.
Sarah Poniatowski, founder and creative CEO of Maison Sarah Lavoine, said: “Each MGallery property tells a unique story – one of elegance, storied heritage, and soulful design. Drawing inspiration from these living art galleries, this glassware collection was created to capture the free-willed spirit of travel, warmth of togetherness, and unique beauty.
“Design is more than just the aesthetics – it’s about bringing spaces to life and finding their character to create lifelong memories. It can transport and inspire, just like the immersive experiences MGallery Collection offers for its guests. Together, we’ve truly created pieces of art.”
For those interested in recreating the experience at home, the limited edition Maison Sarah Lavoine glassware line is also available exclusively from MGallery’s website.
In July, The Spirits Business visited Citadelle Gin Distillery in the southwest of France.
