About Us

Since our earliest days, we (Kate and Drew) have been fans of booze and cocktails. We grew up in the era when rubbing whiskey on your teething child's gums to soothe them was expert parenting (actually ... that should still be considered expert parenting!).

This blog, A Bitter Spirit, is a chronicle of our exploration of making, drinking and enjoying cocktails. It could be a new drink we've tried, a new infusion we attempted to make, or a crazy cocktail-themed project we thought would be fun - we hope to document it all here.

Thank you for reading. Cheers!
