Shaker & Spoon was founded in 2015 in Brooklyn by two designers with an overfilled liquor cabinet. They got tired of buying apricot brandy and cream sherry and not using them again, of needing hard-to-find ingredients at 10 p.m., of trying that complicated cocktail recipe only to be disappointed once it didn’t turn out. Now, with their monthly cocktail club, you just pick up the bottle and they take care of the rest. 

So next time you want to impress your date, party with friends, or relax with Netflix while drinking the perfect old fashioned, they’ll be there to give you the knowledge and confidence to go beyond pouring a glass of wine or opening a beer. With their help, you’ll mix that drink perfectly—and always be the tastemaker in your circle.
