About Us

The Sweet Dahlia started as a little dream tucked in the back of my mind—just this idea of creating something beautiful, soulful, and rooted in real connection. I’ve always loved the art of a well-made cocktail, but even more than that, I love what happens around it: the laughter, the stories, the way a drink can bring people together. So when I launched The Sweet Dahlia, I knew it had to be more than just a bar. It had to feel intentional—from the drinks to the setup to the energy we bring into a space. 
 

We specialize in handcrafted, pre-batched cocktails served from a mobile bar that’s styled with care and heart. Picture a boho garden party with a little edge—where everything from the playlist to the garnish feels thoughtfully curated. But it doesn’t stop at cocktails. We also offer personal curation, elevated mocktails, fresh juice bars, and even a dirty soda bar. It’s all about creating a vibe that fits your moment. 
 

But at the core, The Sweet Dahlia is deeply personal. It’s a love letter to my roots and to the woman who raised me. This business was inspired by—and carved out of—love for my mother, Cristina, who immigrated here and built a life for her daughters that we could’ve never dreamed of. Watching her work tirelessly every day and still come home and give us love, joy, and the little moments that made us feel whole—that lit a flame in me. She showed me that anything is possible when it’s fueled by love and resilience. 

The name itself is a nod to our heritage—the dahlia is the national flower of Mexico, and you’ll taste those cultural influences in many of our cocktails. This isn’t just a business—it’s an homage. A celebration of where we come from and where we’re going. In our culture, we celebrate life—because we know it’s not forever. That’s why I take these events to heart. They’re not just parties; they’re moments in someone’s timeline. And the fact that I get to be a part of that? That’s sacred to me. For me, it’s never just about the drinks. It’s about the energy, the intention, and the memories we help create.
