Introducing Alchemy Gin Chocolate: A Perfect Fusion of Flavor and Artistry from La Maison du Chocolat

Alchemy Gin Chocolate: A Unique Collaboration

On May 29, 2025, La Maison du Chocolat, a renowned French chocolatier founded in 1977 and led by the esteemed chef chocolatier Nicolas Cloiseau, will launch its innovative creation: Alchemy Gin Chocolate. This unique chocolate bar is the exciting second addition to their Alchemy Collection, developed in collaboration with the internationally acclaimed gin brand, Citadelle.

A Delectable Journey into Gin Flavors

Alchemy Gin Chocolate stands out with its remarkable recipe that infuses chocolate with the genuine essence of gin. The creation process involves several meticulous steps, ensuring a perfect representation of gin's botanical richness in every bite.

1. Gathering Botanicals
At the heart of gin lies its botanicals, which include ingredients such as juniper berries. The first step in crafting Alchemy Gin Chocolate involves sourcing fresh botanicals used in gin distillation.

2. Creating Botanical Butter
These botanicals are then blended into a smooth paste. This paste is mixed with cocoa butter, resulting in a gin-flavored botanical butter, which will play a crucial role in crafting the chocolate bar.

3. Incorporating Cocoa
Subsequently, the botanical butter is kneaded into pure cocoa couverture sourced from Grenada. This step transforms the mixture into a spicy and aromatic chocolate that speaks to the quality of its ingredients.

4. Shaping the Chocolate
Finally, the chocolate mixture is poured onto a marble surface to set. The finishing touch involves creating a wave-like pattern that pays homage to Citadelle's iconic bottle design, making the chocolate visually striking.

Alchemy Gin Chocolate will be available for a limited time at La Maison du Chocolat boutiques and online. Priced at 3,456 yen (tax included) for an 80g bar, this chocolate promises an aromatic experience where spicy gin notes harmonize beautifully with Grenadian cocoa.
