Liz & Pawel, Co-Founders of Urban Spirit Vodka
How it began

A Manchester love story, bottled.

Urban Spirit began long before there was a bottle.

Liz and Pawel met at a Christmas party in 2016, bonding over a shared love of vodka. Years later, during lockdown, Pawel's curiosity about distilling turned that shared passion into an idea: what if they made their own?

The idea waited.

Then, on holiday in Morocco in 2024, they started talking about it again — only this time, they decided to actually do it.

What followed were months of planning, building a distillery, navigating licences and developing a vodka they were genuinely proud to put their names to.

On 19 June 2025, Urban Spirit Vodka officially launched.

What happened next is the story we're still writing.

Raise the Moment.
