midwesthiker Posted December 14, 2017 #51 Share Posted December 14, 2017 So if I like a drink that always seems to stump the bartenders, will this be the place to go? My brother is a bartender and got me hooked on the Ramos Fizz. I always get strange reactions when I ask for it here in CA. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Love Ramos Fizz!!! Can’t wait to get on the Glory next Saturday and check this bar out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterbean1000 Posted December 14, 2017 #52 Share Posted December 14, 2017 They always seem to make my dirty martini perfectly with blue cheese stuffed olives. The mixologists are friendly and knowledgeable. When they see you coming, they immediately start making your drink. We just like the vibe there.

Luke Saint Joe Posted December 14, 2017 #53 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Alchemy is my favorite bar! I can walk up to the mixologist, tell him/her that I need something to pick me up, give me energy to get through the night. Done! I can tell them I'd like something fruity but not acidic...done! Can't wait to board Pride again in 17 days and am hoping the same staff is at the Alchemy bar from August!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyandMoe010 Posted December 14, 2017 #54 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I had that as a "nightcap" every night last week! Anna Maria--who just got married , BTW--or Gabriel would start making them for me the minute I came up. They were using Buffalo Trace versus Makers . But to the OP's ?, it's the mixologists, IMO, that make the Alchemy special. More top shelf liquors used. More essence of zests and herbs to accent the drink. Might not be your thing, but worth a try once. LOVE Gabriel! I spent a good amount of time at the Alchemy on the Pride. For me, it was all about the experience. I am a picky drinker and he made me the best strawberry something drink that I have ever had! I am back on the Pride in 45 days armed with Cheers and ready for my next Alchemy adventure!

ray98 Posted December 15, 2017 #55 Share Posted December 15, 2017 It didn't live up to the hype for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterbean1000 Posted December 15, 2017 #56 Share Posted December 15, 2017 It didn't live up to the hype for me.Obviously, it's not for everyone and that's ok. What a boring world it would be if we all liked the same thing. Sent from my SM-G950U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Mom Posted December 15, 2017 #57 Share Posted December 15, 2017 My husband looooooves the Alchemy Bar! He fell in love with a drink they made him called a Sidecar and complains all the time that nobody on land makes it right ;). I love getting those little extras they offer like fresh rosemary, homemade infused liquor, and singed garnishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snookcruiser Posted December 17, 2017 #58 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Love the Alchemy Bars. I like to tell them what I like and watch them concoct a special drink just for me. Then, when I go back later, they remember how to make it again. It's entertaining to watch them at their jobs. A bartender may be working on 4-5 drinks at one time. Amazes me that he/she remembers what goes in which glass. Love to hang out there. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyryder Posted December 23, 2017 #60 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Was on the Ecstasy Dec 9-16, went to Alchemy bar and was told to order from menu. Nothing on menu interested me so I left. I thought part of the experience was getting them to mix you something that you wanted. Very disappointed. Will be on the Magic next month, hope for a better experience there....

That’s how I started. Order off the menu but changed vodka to gin. Go when it’s slow and get to know the bartenders. Let them know if you like it sweet, sour, alcohol taste etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
