JON LANGLEY & LUCKY PREKSTO — Founders

January Spirits is a brand founded by New York bartenders Jon Langley and Lucky Preksto. The brand combines classic French and Italian influences with a modern twist, delivering serious yet fun botanical spirits. Their lineup includes amaro, genepy, and a unique five-flower gin — each crafted for versatility and depth, perfect on its own or as a cocktail backbone.

Partnering with Matchbook Distilling in Greenport, NY, January Spirits launched in 2023 with a commitment to quality and tradition.

January Spirits, named after Janus, the god of transitions, brings together tradition and modern cocktail culture. The brand's spirits and liqueurs are crafted slowly, respecting heritage and the timeless art of distilling. Each bottle is a nod to classic methods while embracing the way people enjoy cocktails today — a drinking experience that feels both familiar and refreshingly new.
