Fun & Informative Liquor tasting - 3 cocktail recipes you make there and 11 liquor tastings later - JACKPOT! This couple taught me so much of what they make and the flavors were so good! I love the fact that each bottle is painted by hand. Ans alcoholic jam?! Who knew! It’s definitely worth the evening! So much fun and laughter too!

Infused rice wine... Even better than it sounds - If you like rice wine, you NEED to try this place. We found it by having some at a local restaurant and I knew I needed to find some to take home. We happened to meet the owner and he was amazing too.

Fun and informative - The Sombai cocktail making was a great experience with Joelle and her assistants, who were all very friendly, with Joelle having a vibrant energy and passion for all things Sombai liqueur. The combinations of flavours were wonderful, with my favourite being the banana cinnamon being a lovely flavour. After the tastings we moved to the cocktail making, with Joelle playing a fire soundtrack to accompany the cocktail making. The three cocktails were delicious, with a lot of dancing and new friends made, would highly recommend this tour both for trying the quality product, and the great people you will meet. Shoutout to Allan for becoming our friend from the tour

A must do in Siem Reap - Unique experience of the tastes of Cambodia. A great set up very professional but brilliant fun. The alchemist of the liqueurs and jams and her team, ensure you have an amazing time with humour and good company, even a bit of dancing. The tasting session is followed by you making and drinking three very delicious cocktails. Can’t recommend this enough, it’s a must - we loved it.

The best night we've had yet - A truly amazing experience that I cannot recommend highly enough. My partner and I have been traveling through South East Asia for about 2 months and can easily say that we have had one of the best nights of our trip here. The cocktails are great but what really sets it apart are the manger and instructor running the night. Both are such amazing people and made us feel not as paying customers but as friends that you had met up for a few cocktails. It's hard to understate how much we enjoyed the evening and if we could rate it higher we would. The next time we are in siem reap or cambodia we will be making a trip back for another fantastic night!
