You think about Detroit and it used to be a boneyard. A place buried in history under the lava of its own eruption.

New cocktail novel coming soon!

It's summer 2015 and Richmond's cocktail renaissance is in full swing. Especially here at Alchemix—best show in town, according to the People.

Which is run by a heartbroken bartender—though you'd never know it from his smile—who finds new life and new purpose in his new craft and new surroundings.

 

So grab a stool and sample these worldclass drinks...and witness the bartender's wild ride through love and loss, privilege and history—in a city where confederate statues still haunt the avenues, and the presidential election is just a growing shadow on the horizon.​..
