  • “We booked Shake the spirit for my daughters 21st party. They turned up early to prepare, dressed professionally, were extremely friendly to our guests and made the most amazing cocktails with all the garnishes I have ever tried. They also invented a new cocktail with the spirits my daughter liked and named it after her. They made us a menu to print which we have kept as a keepsake. Would highly recommend them, and I am looking for an excuse for another party so we can have them around again. Thank you for making the evening extra special.”

    – Diane, 21st Birthday Party

  • “Had Alex come in and give a masterclass to my bartenders one evening. Couldn’t have asked for a better teacher and experience for my team. It was fun but still he told us some interesting facts and information about the history of cocktails. Everyone had a brilliant time and the cocktails at saltbox bar have never been better! Highly recommend this guy and I will be sure to be booking him in again for refresher training in the future!”

    – Sammy, Cocktail Masterclass

  • “We booked Alex for my 50th BBQ party – Great selection of cocktails, catered for all tastes and got my guests involved in the making & more importantly the tasting of drinks they might not normally have. Great fun throughout the night, would definitely book again!!!”

    – Dave, 50th Birthday Party

  • “The only way to get your party going! Great guys, great drinks and you get to impress the hell out of your friends. Take the plunge!”

    – Mark, Summer Party

  • “Alex came to Saltbox to give us (the staff) some cocktail training. He started off with a little history of cocktails, which was really interesting. All the staff had a go at making five different cocktails which are made using different methods and styles. He also told us some great tips and tricks for the future. Overall it was a really great evening and I learned a lot.”

    – Kerry, Cocktail Masterclass
