Afternoon Cocktails in Lausanne ; Le Vestibule and The Sweet Sage

Afternoon Cocktails poetically combine the bar and pastry. Le Vestibule and The Sweet Sage create a rare and refined experience.

Afternoon Cocktails in Lausanne

The traditional Afternoon Tea is reinvented in Lausanne in a cocktail version. A bar and a pastry shop join forces for this gourmet ritual.

Le Vestibule and The Sweet Sage Together

The Le Vestibule (in French) bar takes charge of the drinks, while The Sweet Sage (in French) elevates the pastries. Together, they shape a unique experience by carefully studying each pairing. Cocktails and sweets form a perfect marriage of flavours, without a false note. Lovers of gastronomy and gourmet moments find what they are looking for. Fans of the British afternoon treat also enjoy the more classic Afternoon Teas (in French).

Four Pairings Between Mixology and Desserts

Le Vestibule and The Sweet Sage devise four pairings between cocktails and pastries. Each duo explores a precise balance of texture, freshness and intensity.

Afternoon Cocktails ; Madeleine and Pavlova

The sweetness of a chestnut honey, lemon and ginger madeleine opens the tasting. It meets a cocktail based on Lillet, Italicus, savory, citrus, verbena, Batak berries and sake. This combination offers a golden and sensual introduction. Then comes the freshness of an apple, basil and mint pavlova. A gin with apple brandy, honey, lemon, ginger and aquafaba elevates it. The whole feels light and luminous.

Chocolate, Blackcurrant and Sesame Macaron

The third pairing combines chocolate, blueberry and blackcurrant with a blend of calvados and rum. Cocoa liqueur, beetroot and turmeric complete this intense and tender cocktail. The flavours vibrate with elegance. Finally, the sesame and chai macaron pairs with a velvety vodka with Velvet Disaronno. Coffee, cream, almond, activated charcoal and vanilla cashew white chocolate enrich this last cocktail. This combination offers an enveloping finale, leaving a delicious and refined memory.

Afternoon Cocktails ; The Art of a Twisted Tea Time

This revisited afternoon treat shakes up the codes of the English tea time. The bar offers this experience occasionally.

An Experience Without a False Note

The discovery of this original concept follows an invitation from the two houses, known for a long time. This first experience has no false note. The four pairings are hard to separate. Gin lovers will nonetheless find their favourite in the apple and basil pairing. One of a kind, this version is absolutely worth trying. To recreate cocktails at home, the recipes from Keydcocktails (in French) are a great source of inspiration.
