Both cocktails were hands down incredible, and the service was expert. Vibes were witchy and sexy. Usually if drinks are showy (smoke and fire) I’ve found the showiness comes at the expense of good flavor - not the case at Alchemist! Here you get the whole experience, plus incredible flavor. It was quite expensive. So really only a one to maybe two cocktails per visit situation. But will absolutely be coming back.
