WHAT'S MY STORY?

Hi, I'm Dave, and it's more than a concoction!

​

​It all started while I was working at a non-profit in Philadelphia. I’ve always been fascinated with the chemistry of a balanced cocktail. So when I was challenged to make a cocktail out of ketchup for one of their fundraisers, my first concoction was born! I quickly began studying (and drinking) with  some of the best bartenders in the area. They always created great balanced cocktails and were more than willing to mentor me on how I could make balanced cocktails as well. 

Thank you Bryce, Katrina, Josh, and James for allowing me to be your apprentice. Cheers!

 

After experimenting with home-made cocktails, I began sharing these with friends, family, and anyone else interested in tasting my experiments and asked for feedback. In 2020, thanks to Covid, we no longer experimented in person.  So, I started the YouTube Channel Boozing with Boomers* to share my learnings and recipes with my friends and a wider (homebound) audience. As the pandemic lifted in 2022, I woke up on Groundhog Day, decided to stop doing the same thing over and over again, and officially launched Dave’s Concoctions! So now I am able to bring bar-quality cocktails to your home! And did I mention that a portion of the proceeds from every concoction goes to help a charity in the West Chester PA region?

Our Neck of the Woods

My wife, Lee, and I have lived, eaten and imbibed in West Chester for more than half our lives. We’ve raised two foodie and cocktail loving sons, and in that time, have witnessed West Chester grow into a great food and cocktail town.  This is same town where I learned from my mentors to consistently make great, balanced cocktails (and now mocktail and cocktail mixers!).

What’s Our secret?

We only use premium, all-natural ingredients and source them locally.

And don’t worry - we try out every recipe on discerning tasters until we get it just right!
