Who you'll be drinking with
Hi, I'm Matt

I've spent ten years behind the bar in the Lakes, and this year I made the semi-finals of the MONTZI cocktail competition.
Honestly? Because I love it. Ten years in, I still get a kick out of a properly balanced drink. And whatever I'm into, I end up showing other people how to do it. This is just that, with shakers.
Spirit & Proof brings that to your holiday home: a proper bar set up in your kitchen, everyone with their own shaker, and three drinks you'll actually be able to make again at home.
