Catering to a growing desire for deeply crafted and highly intentional food and beverage experiences,the program treats the arrival,aroma,and presentation of a drink with the same reverence as its taste.
An Apothecary-Inspired Approach to Mixology
Alchemy by Loews leans heavily into the art of the craft.The beverage team is utilizing house-made tinctures,herbal infusions,and small-batch mixers to create drinks that tell a story.By incorporating regional ingredients and seasonal botanicals,the cocktails and spirit-free options reflect the unique destination of the Philadelphia property.
Grant Hewitt,Vice President of Beverage for Loews Hotels&Co.,describes the program as a way to elevate the everyday ritual of enjoying a drink.“Every detail,from aroma and temperature to glassware and texture,is considered with intention," Hewitt noted. "The result is an experience that feels personal,artisanal,and deeply rooted in hospitality.”
The Signature Pour:The Smoked Rosemary Negroni
Leading the charge for the Philadelphia launch is theSmoked Rosemary Negroni, a deeply sensory twist on the classic Italian cocktail.
This new signature drink features:
- Pineapple-infused Hendrick’s Gin
- Campari
- Punt e Mes
- A smoke-kissed glass presentation
- Garnishes of torched rosemary and grilled pineapple
The result is a complex,layered flavor profile that balances the warmth and aromatic smoke of the rosemary with bright citrus and botanical notes.
