The masterminds
Behind Spirit of 33
Meet Lee and Dawn.
On December 5th, 1933 the 21st Amendment was signed repealing the 18th Amendment, ending prohibition in the United States of America. Imagine a time when alcohol became legal again, and those that enjoyed imbibing were no longer criminals. In the current renaissance of craft cocktails and craft distilling, we celebrate the same spirit of ’33 that allowed an entire generation to once again celebrate openly, without sobriety.
Based on our passion for quality spirits and cocktails as well as our love of travel, we envisioned a business that would help like-minded cocktail and craft spirits connoisseurs around the world come together to enjoy the craft. Our goal is to provide the largest user base for members of the craft spirits and cocktail community with a website and application where we can share our experiences and help others research and celebrate the best cocktails, bartenders, cocktail bars and craft spirits. We do this through professional and interactive customer reviews and serve as a resource for enthusiasts, venues, bartenders, craft spirit makers, and you!
