May 2025 – From the sandy beaches of Thailand to the twinkling city streets of Paris, cocktail enthusiasts can enjoy a touch of modern art this World Cocktail Months. From 13 May, boutique hotel collection MGallery is teaming up with French lifestyle brand, Maison Sarah Lavoine, to launch a set of exclusive glassware. A partnership born out of a collective ethos dedicated to character, curiosity and creativity, MGallery and Maison Sarah Lavoine have come together to expertly infuse emotion and memories into their designs. The three stunning cocktail glasses have been paired with a trio of limited-edition cocktail creations from the world’s first craft gin, Citadelle Gin, that guests can sip and savour in MGallery bars across the world or re-create at home, turning every sip into a work of art.
Glassware with a Modern Twist
MGallery and Maison Sarah Lavoine have a shared passion for uncovering and championing the soul of spaces, whether through sublime objects or storied properties, in a way that is accessible for all. Inspired by MGallery’s one-of-a-kind designs that tell the story of the heart of a destination, the glassware has been delicately crafted to elevate every sip into a special moment.
Embodying Maison Sarah Lavoine’s distinctive bold and playful colours, elegant lines and timeless designs, the exclusive collection includes a tumbler and two refined coupes, each with matching coasters. Blown and tinted to precision, the glassware combines the essence of each brand, featuring MGallery’s distinctive diagonal geometric pattern, set against Maison Sarah Lavoine’s exclusive Pantone colours, including the infamous Sarah Blue.
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, and together, we’ve truly created pieces of art. Founder and Creative CEO of Maison Sarah Lavoine, Sarah Poniatowski
A Daring and Delightful Cocktail Trio
To launch the collection, MGallery has partnered with Citadelle Gin to create three bold new cocktails designed specifically for the glassware. Exposing palates to new combinations of flavours, guests can delight in the indulgent recipes made with 100% natural ingredients.
These one-of-a-kind cocktails include:
The Crystal Diva: With floral and herbal notes, the Crystal Diva features Citadelle Gin Original, fino sherry, jasmine and lemongrass cordial, and orange blossom. Stirred and poured effortlessly in the Maison Sarah Lavoine Nick & Nora coupe, it is garnished with white chocolate shard and a touch of jasmine and lemongrass, reflective of a gimlet cocktail.
The Timeless Negroni: For something more earthy and rich, the Timeless Negroni puts a contemporary twist on the classic serve featuring Citadelle Gin Original infused with sandalwood, red vermouth, and Italian bitters infused with pineapple and Pandan, a plant native to Southeast Asia with a vanilla aroma. Served in the Maison Sarah Lavoine Old Fashion tumbler with a 5cm oval ice-cube, it is garnished with pineapple and Pandan leather, transporting the drinker to lush tropical paradise.
The Honey 75: This salty, zesty twist on a French 75 features Citadelle Gin Original, fat-washed with local olive olive oil, verjus, salted local honey, orange and cardamom syrup. Topped with Pommery Champagne, this cocktail sits perfectly in the Maison Sarah Lavoine Coupe, evoking a local anchorage that grounds its effervescent profile in timeless elegance
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. Chief Marketing Officer of MGallery, Xavier Royaux
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. Citadelle Gin’s Creator and Master Blender, Alexandre Gabriel
The three limited-edition cocktails will be launched alongside five brand new MGallery cocktail creations with a variety of flavours to transport guests around the world. The creations, available as alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails, will be added to the permanent MGallery cocktail menu and include a refreshing Sage Highball, a citrusy Spring Sour, a modern and fruity Guava Adonis, a silky lemon Bee’s Heat and a tropical Paolo Verde.
Available in-bar or at-home today
Available to sample from 13 May, the Citadelle Gin cocktails will be served in their perfectly paired Maison Sarah Lavoine cocktail glass in MGallery bars across the globe until 31 August.
For those interested in recreating the experience at home, the limited-edition Maison Sarah Lavoine glassware line is also available exclusively for purchase at MGallery Boutique.
