Made to be
mixed.

Each recipe is built around Marcel’s unique flavour profile. The supporting ingredients are simple. What they produce is not.

01
Marcel Negroni
Aperitivo · Stirred

The bitter almond character of Marcel makes this the most nuanced Negroni you have ever tasted. The marzipan note softens the Campari bite perfectly.

Ingredients
40ml Marcel Swiss Spirit
30ml Campari
30ml Sweet vermouth
1 Orange peel, to garnish
Method

Add all ingredients to a mixing glass with ice. Stir for 30 seconds until well chilled. Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube. Express orange peel over the glass and drop in.

02
Marcel & Tonic
Long Drink · Built

The simplest way to drink Marcel. Fever-Tree Spanish Clementine Tonic amplifies the orange notes into something bright, fragrant and effortless.

Ingredients
50ml Marcel Swiss Spirit
150ml Fever-Tree Clementine Tonic
1 Orange slice, to garnish
Method

Fill a large balloon glass with one large ice cube. Pour Marcel over the ice cube. Add tonic slowly down the side of the glass to preserve the bubbles. Garnish with a fresh orange slice.

03
Old Fashioned Marcel
Classic · Stirred

Marcel’s nutty, almond-forward character belongs in an Old Fashioned. Angostura bitters and orange zest frame it without competing. Timeless.

Ingredients
60ml Marcel Swiss Spirit
2 dashes Angostura bitters
1 tsp Sugar syrup
1 Orange zest, to garnish
Method

Add Marcel, bitters and sugar syrup to a mixing glass with ice. Stir until well chilled, about 30 seconds. Strain into a rocks glass over one large ice cube. Express orange zest over the drink and use as garnish.

04
Marcel Sour
Sour · Shaken

The egg white creates a silky foam that carries the white marzipan nose straight to you. Lemon juice cuts through the sweetness. Elegant and satisfying.

Ingredients
50ml Marcel Swiss Spirit
25ml Fresh lemon juice
15ml Sugar syrup
1 Egg white
Method

Combine all ingredients in a shaker without ice and dry-shake vigorously for 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white. Add ice and shake again hard for 10 seconds. Double-strain into a chilled coupe glass. No garnish needed.

05
Marcel Spritz
Spritz · Built

Light, celebratory and very easy to make for a crowd. Prosecco lifts the orange and almond notes in Marcel into something genuinely festive — and entirely its own.

Ingredients
40ml Marcel Swiss Spirit
80ml Prosecco
20ml Soda water
1 Orange slice & mint sprig
Method

Fill a large wine glass with one large ice cube. Add Marcel, then Prosecco, then a splash of soda. Stir once gently. Garnish with a fresh orange slice and a sprig of mint.

06
Marcel Mule
Long Drink · Built

Ginger beer’s spice plays beautifully against Marcel’s almond sweetness. Lime keeps it sharp and fresh. One of the most approachable ways to discover what Marcel can do.

Ingredients
50ml Marcel Swiss Spirit
120ml Ginger beer
15ml Fresh lime juice
1 Lime wedge, to garnish
Method

Fill a copper mug with ice. Add Marcel and lime juice with wedges. Top with ginger beer and stir once. Garnish with a lime wedge.

Cocktails that
never existed before.

Before Marcel, there was no marzipan in a bottle. White marzipan — that clean, focused bittersweet almond note — simply did not exist as a cocktail ingredient.

When you use Marcel in a Negroni structure, the structure is familiar. What Marcel brings to it is not. Marcel does not substitute for an existing spirit — it opens a dimension of flavour that was previously unavailable.

  • Distilled in Zürich — CO₂-neutral, Swiss spring water, 50cl · 32°
