On Punctuality, Passwords, and Finding Alchemy: Lusaka’s First Real Speakeasy

I arrived at Alchemy at 6pm sharp, password memorized, ready for Lusaka's first real speakeasy. Behind an unmarked gate, past twinkling fairy lights, I found burnt orange walls, craft cocktails with names like Petrichor and Madagascar Vanilla Whiskey Sour, and something rare in Lusaka: bartenders who actually ask what you like before making your drink. No beer on the menu. No quick service. Just Elias and Aaron crafting drinks with the kind of care this city's been missing. If you're ready to slow down and actually taste what you're drinking, Lusaka's hidden bar is waiting.
