Here are just a few gems that you can use to impress your guests and throw an event with plenty of wow-factor.
Balanced Flavors
Crafting masterful drinks is an art that involves the balance of sweet, tart, and bitter to achieve that lip-smacking ahhhh moment. We have spent hours in the kitchen to press, muddle, and strain fresh ingredients to extract its flavorful essence. At times, we have even used spices, like coriander, cinnamon and cloves, and unexpected ingredients like bacon, tomatoes and cucumbers to meet clients’ visions. A good bartender should be able to collaborate with you to develop a drink menu that will suit an array of guests pallets, as well as mix up a balanced cocktail that hit all the notes.
Smoke It
There’s something carnal about smoke. Its distinct smell entices the far corners of our psyche and brings forth memories of congregating around a fire. Our Smoke Box and Smoke Top always draws a crowd. We recommend pairing the smoky flavor with a bold drink, like a Bourbon or Oaxaca Old Fashioned.
Bubble Dome
The Bubble brings the awe a child has for bubbles, but elevates it for adults. Before you ask, no, it is not soap. The bubble is a specialized edible solution which is filled with plain air or smoke to achieve a whimsical effect. Laughter and conversation flow when our bartenders entertain your guests with a drink topped with a bubble dome they can pop!
These specialized bartending tools are only as impressive as the skillful hands that wield it. That’s why it’s imperative that you ask for an expert when it comes to the bar. We have 10+ years of experience in the mobile bartending industry – during which time we’ve helped over 1,000 clients feel like a guest at their own party. And in the mobile bartending industry, there’s no one better than Mobile Mixologist. Schedule your free 30 minute consult to learn more about how you can throw an epic celebration.
Cheers!
How To Personalize Your Signature Drinks
By working closely with couples, we ensure their signature drinks not only taste incredible but also tell their unique love story. Our mixologists collaborate with brides and grooms to craft signature drinks that are personalized so that every sip is a reminder of the beautiful journey they are embarking on together.

Our mixologists collaborated with Amanda and Scott to craft a signature drink menu that was personalized so that every sip was a reminder of the beautiful journey they were embarking on together. Here’s how.
Incorporate heritage
Whether it's the rich spices of Indian chai, or the refreshing tang of Italian limoncello, there's a world of ingredients that can make your drink truly special. Horchata is a sweet rice milk from Mexico. The bride loves horchata so we had the caterer make extra so we could use some for cocktails. For one of the signature drinks, our mixologists paired horchata with tequila and Kahlua, for a play on a White Russian.
Blend flavors you love
Each couple is different, and by weaving their personal tastes into the cocktail, we create a drink that not only delights their palate but also tells a piece of their special story.
Cactus Cooler is a regional soda that tastes like a cross between a pineapple and orange soda. Popular in Southern California, their favorite soda’s nostalgic flavors evoked sweet memories for the couple. They wanted to share their love of Cactus Cooler with their guests, so we paired it with vodka, peach schnapps, cranberry, and fresh lemon for a vibrant fruity cocktail.
Combine interests
We also incorporate couples’ shared interests into cocktails. For instance, if they share a love for tropical vacations, we might craft a cocktail featuring exotic fruits and a splash of rum to capture the essence of their favorite getaway. If they bond over a mutual passion for coffee, a rich espresso martini could be the perfect blend to celebrate their union.
Amanda and Scott share a love for baseball. They even used baseball bats to demolish a piñata wedding cake during their reception! We incorporated their love of the game into the names of the drinks, resulting in Home Run Horchata and the Tropical Triple Play.
Ultimately, our mission is to help couples savor each precious moment and create memories that will last a lifetime. After all, your wedding day is a celebration of love, and we are honored to be a part of it.
