Meet The Alchemist On The Forefront of The Third Cocktail Revolution
Tommy Paul’s Alchemix is bringing attention to the Alchemists fighting to save a dying craft.
Tommy Paul has always been a maverick.
Take one look at Alchemix, his growing Youtube channel and hospitality media brand, and you’ll feel his revolutionary spirit right away. This isn’t your basic backyard bartender overcompensating for their poorly made drinks with a peppy personality.
This is a breath of fresh air, speakeasy-style.
According to the National Restaurant Association, 110,000 restaurants have closed since the beginning of the pandemic. More than fifty percent say they won’t return. Yet in the next decade, the NRA expects growth in the industry.
Tommy Paul believes that this represents an opportunity to re-group, re-build, and become stronger than ever before. He’s on a mission to highlight the best cocktail/spirits wizards left standing.
I sat down for an interview with Tommy to get his take on the state of cocktails in our floundering post-covid hospitality industry.
