“The Spirits is an awesome source of great drink and hospitality content and the wealth of industry knowledge to explore is impressive. ”
Jamie Ryder, Drink To That
“We have found and enjoyed SO MANY new cocktails in this newsletter. Richard tells you the provenance of each drink and even supplies a playlist! If you like cocktails, this is the newsletter for you!”
Anna Lynch, Chaise Lounge
“The Spirits has improved the quality of my average cocktail, definitely, but it is more than just a guide for making a drink. The chatty style and discussion that accompanies each drink makes me feel like my cocktail evenings are a shared experience. The Spirits makes the world just a little bit less lonely.”
Sylvia Wrigley, Accidents and Incidents
