Make three New Orleans cocktails, learn their stories, and step behind the bar in Tommy Alchemy’s intimate two-hour speakeasy class.

“Tommy Alchemy was a great host. He was so unpretentious and shared all of his recipes. He is an artist for sure. This was such a fun class to take. I highly recommend it, especially if you want an intimate class that details the history of specific cocktails. The simple syrups were amazing (I even ended up ordering 3 of them). We learned so much and enjoyed the class. He even does industry days for his local bartenders and is working on getting everything certified organic. This is a must do!!!”

“If you do one thing in the city of New Orleans, let it be this tour. Marc was knowledgable, engaging, and extremely welcoming on my family's trip to New Orleans. Having never been to the area, he provided us with expert level knowledge on the culinary scene as a insider in the restaurant business. This was truly a unique experience that I do not believe we could have created for ourselves had we simply dined-in at the restaurants and locations on this tour. Marc constantly exceeded expectations in restaurant and dish selection, and he made sure that we got all that New Orleans had to offer. When Marc walked into…”
