Michael Cecconi

With M Squared Spirits, Michael steps out from behind the bar to connect to a wider audience with his best and most popular recipes.

M Squared Spirits bottles beautifully balanced, artisanal cocktails that allow everyone to enjoy the delicious end-product of a recipe carefully crafted by a master mixologist. Awaken your senses and your tastebuds wherever and whenever you would choose.

Bartender Emeritus at The Alembic in San Francisco, Michael teaches mixology classes for corporate team-building events, covering everything from gin to mezcal and tiki to avant-garde. Previously, Michael was the Cocktail Maestro at Peter Hoffman's Savoy and Back Forty in New York City, and he has customized programs everywhere from The Toucan & the Lion (New York City) to Zazu (Sebastapol, CA) to Pure Shore (Long Beach City, NY). 

Michael had the unique honor to be the opening (2011) and closing (2017) bartender at Two Sisters Bar & Books. It was here that the spark for M Squared Spirits became a reality with Mikha’s calm and encouraging expertise. Without her, M Squared Spirits wouldn’t exist.

Michael’s work has been featured in Food & Wine, The New York Times, the San Francisco Chronicle and on The Today Show. Now he brings his next venture to retail, wholesale, and hospitality virtual events.
