Manchester original, The Alchemist, has revealed an innovative new cocktail menu following an extensive renovation of its Spinningfields flagship.
Launching this May, the vibrant cocktail menu comes as The Alchemist Spinningfields unveiled a new era in its brand concept storywith a £550k refurb, featuringfuturistic, divine influences from astrology and the cosmos.
A significant evolution for The Alchemist, having journeyed through creative alchemy and potions with its molecular mixology style, the new stand-out menu features a fully edible cocktail, aptly named The Edible One. Consisting of Manzana Verde, Avallen Calvados, lime sherbet, salted caramel, apple juice, and white chocolate foam, this inventive drink is served in an edible cup in partnership with Stroodles.
Symbolic of the brand’s sustainable efforts, The Stroodles edible cup is made from natural grains that are completely biodegradable, 100% vegan and can hold hot and cold liquids for 40 minutes without disintegrating. Eco-friendly and delicious, the Stroodles vessel has a wafer-like flavour that complements the cocktail’s unique flavours and ignites summer nostalgia.
In addition to the cocktail’s sustainable design, ingredients have been selected with environmental impact in mind. Instead of bottles, Avallen Calvados will be delivered by Ecospirits in large kegs called Eco Totes. For every Eco Tote purchased, a tree is planted in an ‘Alchemist Rainforest’ where guests can track how many trees have been planted so far through a QR code on their menu.
In true The Alchemist style, the new menu will see the addition of theatrical concoctions such as the T&T, a fragrant tequila, pink grapefruit, lime, tonic, ‘fire mix’ and flash sting cocktail that, when flamed, resembles a stick of dynamite.
Old school favourites have also been upgraded to offer unique and decadent flavours. Take, for example, the brand’s exclusive Nextpresso Martini, an Espresso Martini served with an indulgent dark chocolate spoon and bespoke caramel caviar.
The new cocktail menu complements The Alchemist Spinningfields’ newly launched food menu. Designed to celebrate the sustainable efforts of the brand and tailored to a variety of dietary requirements, with the new menu offers 58% vegetarian, 38% gluten free and 44% vegan.
