Shaker & Spoon

Shaker & Spoon was founded in 2015 by designers Anna Gorovoy and Mike Milyavsky to solve a common home bartending problem: unused specialty ingredients cluttering cabinets after making one cocktail recipe. By curating precisely measured ingredients for multiple cocktail variations, they transformed complex mixology into an accessible monthly experience.

Company Mission

Shaker & Spoon’s mission is to bring craft cocktail culture into home kitchens by partnering with award-winning mixologists who design creative, bar-quality recipes. They aim to make sophisticated cocktail creation approachable for enthusiasts without requiring extensive bar tool collections or ingredient stockpiling.

Products & Services

Shaker & Spoon offers monthly cocktail subscription boxes featuring:

• Monthly Box: 3 original mixologist-designed recipes
• Guest Curators: Collaborations with celebrity mixologists and bartenders
• Ingredient Kits: Pre-measured syrups, bitters, garnishes, and specialty items for 12 cocktails

Each box includes everything needed except spirits, which subscribers purchase separately based on provided recommendations.

What Sets Them Apart

Shaker & Spoon differentiates through mixologist partnerships rather than generic recipes. Each month features creations from award-winning bartenders - from industry legends to celebrity guests like Mamrie Hart. The recipes balance creativity with approachability, introducing techniques like fat-washing or smoked garnishes without requiring professional bar equipment. Their focus on zero-proof options for every recipe (under 175 calories per cocktail) reflects growing wellness trends while maintaining flavor complexity.
