Liz & Pawel
How it began

A Manchester love story, bottled.

"Pawel arrived on our first date with a homemade bottle of Peach and Mint moonshine, and I knew instantly I found someone special."

In December 2016, colleagues Liz and Pawel met at their work's Christmas party. Bonding over their mutual love of vodka, they spent the night dancing and drinking together. The following Friday, they met for their first date in the heart of Manchester city centre.

From a boozy weekend in Warsaw sampling the finest flavoured vodkas, to a vodka tasting experience at their wedding — their passion only deepened. After years of dreaming, they finally took the leap. And so, Urban Spirit was born.
