Metropole Venice Unveils Melodic Cocktails for Venetian Festival

Venice Cocktail Week descends upon the Serene Republic from 21st to 25th October, and Hotel Metropole Venice rises to the occasion with two exquisite new creations born from the visionary mind of Orientalbar&Bistrot. Each cocktail represents a meditation on beauty, balance and the transformative power of expertly orchestrated flavours.

The Green Note: A Composition in Harmony

Conceived as a tribute to the Metropole’s profound musical lineage, where centuries of melody have resonated through its storied halls from the legacy of Antonio Vivaldi to the contemporary era, “The Green Note” emerges as a Signature Cocktail of remarkable sophistication. The name itself speaks to musical philosophy: a single note that discovers its true magnificence only when it finds harmony alongside others.

Within the glass awaits a composition of remarkable subtlety. Altamura wheat provides the foundation, its noble character meeting the distinctive earthiness of yerba mate. The botanicals of vermouth from Treviso complete this trinity, weaving together roots, journeys and new interpretations into a single, transcendent sip. This is a cocktail that honours the Metropole’s connection to the artistic traditions that have shaped Venice itself.

Clear Ritual: The Poetry of Pause

Where “The Green Note” celebrates complexity through harmony, “Clear Ritual” elevates simplicity to an art form. Conceived for the Midday Aperitivo category, this alcohol free creation captures that precious moment when time appears to suspend itself and the world slows to a more civilised pace.

Bathed in soft midday light, the ritual of the aperitivo becomes a meditation on balance and pleasure. “Clear Ritual” distils this moment into liquid form: the delicate notes of Earl Grey meet the invigorating freshness of lemon, while a gentle sparkle of bubbles adds an ethereal quality. This is refinement without excess, indulgence without complication. The beauty of this creation rests in its absolute simplicity, a celebration of the grace that emerges when every element knows its purpose.

Both cocktails will grace the Orientalbar&Bistrot throughout Venice Cocktail Week, inviting discerning guests to experience the Metropole’s continued commitment to excellence in every sphere of hospitality. These are not mere beverages; they are expressions of the hotel’s unwavering dedication to artistry, heritage and the elevation of everyday moments into occasions worthy of remembrance.
