Craft Cocktails and Easy Hosting from my Vintage Home Bar

Kindred Spirits is a place where we celebrate life through craft cocktails, unique glassware, and the adventures we go on to find the best of both.

Hey there! I’m Chelsea, lover of cocktails, vintage barware, and spirited gatherings with friends and family. I am a former bartender and current librarian who really needed a creative outlet during the pandemic, and found myself here!

My love of cocktails really lives in my love of stories, and the unique ways that humans ritualize and share moments over a delicious drink. Recipes and vintage glassware are windows into life, reflecting culinary techniques, cultural values, design, and social movements. Every cocktail and every vintage piece tell a story, and by using them, we get to be part of that.

Making cocktails at home is one of my favorite ways to bring special moments into the everyday, and it’s easier than you think! Once you've mastered a few classics, you can branch out, experiment, and develop creations of your own.

Kindred Spirits is about celebrating everyday moments through unique cocktails, boozy culture, and vintage bar and glassware. Join me on this journey as we explore, learn, and create together!
