Who are we ?
L'Alchimiste offers new “signature cocktails of chefs with and without alcohol”, which are both more natural, less sweet and contemporary.
Our history
Since its creation in 2016, the Alchimiste has created signature cocktails with a thousand flavors around the world. Its founders, Mélinda Guérin-White and Matthias Giroud, have given themselves the primary mission of providing consumers with a unique and artistic “drinking experience”.
L'Alchimiste thus puts the art of the cocktail at the service of a much greater, exclusive experience that awakens all the senses. His creations are as visual as they are gustatory and now combine magnificently with other worlds such as gastronomy (cuisine and wine), tableware or design.

Sustainable development, a subject at the heart of our activity
L'Alchimiste adopts an eco-responsible approach to its activities. This mainly results in the use of environmentally friendly products with a preference for fresh, local and seasonal products, by the choice of packaging purchased in France, and by the optimization of manufacturing processes. During the preparation stage, for example, the use of each ingredient – from the peel to the juice – is optimized in order to limit waste.
