Create classic cocktails with your team from the historic heart of NYC!

In short, it's a craft cocktail class your nearest and dearest will never forget!
After a brief introduction to the craft of mindful mixology, you'll get to build four (4) Prohibition-era cocktails at a casual-but-steady pace, learning the basics of bespoke bartending as you go. Master the Martini, Old Fashioned, Negroni, Margarita, and other elegant elixirs as you develop your own personal flair, pairing old-school methodology with modern mixology along the way. The bar is fully stocked with an array of freshly squeezed juices, specialty syrups, botanical bitters, and gourmet garnishes; your seasoned instructor will be floating around to answer questions, swap stories, and offer step-by-step instructions on the fly.

Simple drinks, complex tastes.
As a lifelong storyteller with over a decade of bespoke bartending under his belt, TJ Fink (ie, @the.artisanal.alchemist) is an extroverted expert at building experiential events from the ground up. He "mixologizes" at private functions all over New York City, venn-diagramming the multiverse of glamorous gourmet food with the miniverse of tasty tonics; he's tended bar for princes, paupers, and everyone in between.
On the artisanal side of things, TJ is intensely passionate about crafting one-of-a-kind cocktails with his own bare hands. From an alchemical angle, he appreciates the increasingly complex chemistry behind these creative concoctions. (Not to mention the twisted histories behind them.) Long-story-long: he’s always learning something new behind the mahogany, and learning new things is his very favorite... well, thing.
When TJ’s not slinging drinks in the five boroughs, he can be found sipping Negronis in his living room and crafting Dr. Seussian poetry inside a tattered moleskin. Every tincture has a tale to tell, after all.
