    How to make Ginocello Ophiuchus — The Alchemist

    By CG | January 16, 2026

    Mystical. Rare. Transformative.

    Some cocktails are created. Others are discovered.
    Ginocello Ophiuchus — The Alchemist represents the hidden thirteenth sign — a rare, house-signature serve that feels secret, ceremonial, and unforgettable.

    This is the most expressive ritual in the collection: lemon sorbet, golden Prosecco bubbles, raw citrus oils, and a final whisper of honey. Built around Ginocello — the premium gin-based citrus digestif, it transforms the familiar into something elevated, theatrical, and deeply sensory.

    This is not simply a cocktail.
    It is an experience.


    ✨ The Character of The Alchemist

    The Alchemist is defined by contrast and transformation:

    • Frozen lemon sorbet meeting warm botanicals

    • Bright citrus lifted by fine bubbles

    • Soft sweetness from honey

    • A layered, evolving texture with every sip

    It begins as dessert, becomes aperitivo, and finishes as digestif — fluid, shifting, and impossible to categorise.


    ? Ingredients

    • 30 ml Ginocello

    • 50 ml Prosecco

    • 1 scoop lemon sorbet

    • Light honey drizzle

    • Lemon zest


    ?‍? How to Make Ginocello Ophiuchus — The Alchemist

    1. Place one elegant scoop of lemon sorbet into a chilled coupe glass.

    2. Pour 30 ml Ginocello slowly over the sorbet.

    3. Top gently with 50 ml chilled Prosecco.

    4. Finish with a delicate drizzle of honey.

    5. Express fresh lemon zest over the glass and allow it to rest on the surface.

    Serve immediately — with ceremony, intention, and a moment of pause.


    ? Why It Works So Beautifully

    This serve brings together the essence of Ginocello’s craftsmanship:

    • Citrus brightness

    • Honeyed softness

    • Botanical elegance

    • Ritualistic presentation

    It feels bespoke. It feels rare. It feels personal.

    This is the cocktail guests remember long after the evening ends.

    • House signature cocktail

    • Tasting menus
