Tom Macy

I am a husband, dad and part owner of two cocktail bars in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn: the Clover Club - where I am the head bartender and curate the menus - and Leyenda, which is right across the street. 

In addition to my duties behind the bar, one of my deepest passions is teaching people to make better drinks themselves, whether they're preparing them at home or as professional bartenders. My videos are aimed at making cocktails straightforward and accessible but also comprehensive and not dumbed down.  I'm not just talking about recipes, but also advice on the craft behind making cocktails, which is much more important than a list of ingredients.
