We had a custom mixology class with Cory and it was amazing! I am a cocktail nerd and Cory showed me so many new tips and tricks; not to mention the best Sazerac I've ever had!! Cory is very knowledgable, easygoing, and has a great sense of humor. I highly recommend taking one of his classes or set up your own custom class! Thank you Cory!

CORY IS AWESOME!!! Cory led about 30 of us through a fun, engaging, fascinating, and truly awesome cocktail class. He had the perfect balance of informing us and guiding us through the three recipes, answering our questions related to just about anything cocktail / bar related, and also allowing us to celebrate our end of year as a team. We hope to book Cory again soon. Book him - you will not regret it!!

Had an amazing time at Cory's rum cocktail-making class! It was very informative and casual. There was time to sip and chat in between cocktails, so it made it more personal.

My friends and I have been going to the Tippler for several years now and always love seeing Cory there. Not only does he make incredible cocktails, but he's also very kind and personable and pays significant attention to detail. He's easily one of my favorite bartenders in NYC!

Cory is an awesome bartender and mixologist. I’ve seen him in action at bars around NYC, as well as at his apartment mixing up drinks for friends. He always comes up with the most creative, delicious drinks and is able to cater to everyone’s palette. Cory also always has great tips and tricks that would help out any novice drink maker, myself included.

Cory is great. Helped me create my favorite cocktail straight down to my own simple syrup. Also great at mixing up new cocktail ideas on the fly with just the ingredients I had at home. Highly recommend!
Eric

Let me tell you something about this guy--once in a generation, someone comes around and revolutionizes the game--the game is mixology. And that man is Cory. All grandeur aside, Cory is freakin' hilarious, and his classes are so much fun. He's so experienced and talented, he had me whipping up cocktails, with ingredients I never would have thought tasted well together, and creating drinks that would make a dove cry. And I mean that as in Prince started playing as I took my first sip. Highly recommend Cory to any and all... my only complaint is there's not enough stars, I would've given Cory 6 out of 5.
Alexandra

I’ve been going to The Tippler in NYC for years and Cory is no novice! You can always find him sipping on something new he’s working on. Love!
Lila

Cory was so knowledgeable and answered my many questions I had about specific cocktails, the spirits used and the way he makes drinks! I'm very interested in the mixology techniques but don't know too much about it, so I appreciated his patience!! Cory was so friendly and funny too. I always value a good sense of humor!

On more than one occasion I've had the pleasure of having Cory make me a cocktail or two. An engaging and accommodating fellow, I usually just tell him what I'm in the mood for (whiskey, gin, rum, etc.) and he puts together something well balanced and tasty. Good drinks and good conversation, what else could you ask for?
Jordan

I don’t write reviews too often but when I came across Cory and his enthusiasm over mixing drinks I was motivated to write something about him. He not only mix's a great drink he can put his own twist on it and he can make anything you ask for! He is also very personable and attentive. Sweet guy with a flair for a good drink!
