From Event Planners to Pouring Passion: The Story of The Tipsy Petal 🌸🍸

Every great idea starts with a spark… and sometimes a splash. Ours started with a love of parties, a serious appreciation for a well-made cocktail, and one

very obvious gap in the market.
Before The Tipsy Petal was born, we were busy event planners, creating beautiful celebrations and unforgettable moments for other people. We loved the buzz, the creativity, and (let’s be honest) the drinks at the end of a long setup. But somewhere between styling tables and packing up fairy lights, we realised something was missing.
Why were cocktails always so complicated?
Spotting the Gap (With a Drink in Hand)
We noticed that while cocktails were everywhere, good cocktails that were quick, giftable, and genuinely delicious were not. We wanted something you could:
• Pour into a jar
• Add ice
• Shake
• Serve immediately
No muddling. No measuring. No mess. Just effortless cocktails in jars that taste like they’ve been made by a professional mixologist (without needing one).
And just like that, the idea for cocktails served in jars was born.
Mother, Daughter & a Lot of Taste Testing
One of the most special parts of The Tipsy Petal is that it’s built by a mother-and-daughter duo. What started as casual brainstorming quickly turned into afternoons of flavour testing, recipe tweaking, and… a few slightly tipsy creative sessions.
There were plenty of:
• “This one needs more citrus.”
• “What if we added a floral note?”
• “Okay… that one might be too strong.”
We had so much fun creating and adapting new cocktail flavours, experimenting with classic cocktails and reinventing them with our own twist. Many afternoons were spent laughing, sipping, shaking jars, and dreaming about what this brand could become.
Travel-Inspired Flavours With a Story
Our travels around the world have always inspired us – beach bars at sunset, hidden European cafés, rooftop cocktails in vibrant cities. Each jar captures that feeling of being somewhere special, even if you’re just pouring a drink at home.
Every flavour is designed to feel like a mini escape:
• Fresh, floral notes
• Bright citrus blends
• Smooth, indulgent classics
It’s not just a drink – it’s a moment.
Why Our Cocktail Jars Make the Perfect Gift 🎁
We quickly realised that our jars weren’t just convenient… they were perfect cocktail gifts.
Why people love them:
• Ready-to-use cocktails in jars
• Stylish, reusable packaging
• Ideal for birthdays, weddings, hen parties & thank-you gifts
• No alcohol knowledge required
• Just add ice, shake, and serve
Whether you’re gifting to a cocktail lover or someone who “doesn’t usually make drinks,” our jars make everyone feel like a pro.
Following What We Love (And Never Looking Back)
Transitioning from event planning to launching a cocktail brand was a leap of faith – but it was the best one we’ve ever taken. We followed what we loved, trusted our instincts, and built something that feels authentic, joyful, and a little bit cheeky.
The Tipsy Petal is about:
• Celebrating life’s little moments
• Making cocktails easy and fun
• Turning gifts into experiences
• And never taking ourselves too seriously
So whether you’re shaking up a jar for a girls’ night, gifting a cocktail to someone special, or simply treating yourself (because why not?), we’re so glad you’re part of our journey.
Cheers to following your passion… and to many more jars shaken, not stirred.
