Meet Sally…
As a child, Sally Hawkins has been captivated by the natural world. While others were glued to the TV, Sally was outside foraging wild berries, gathering elderflowers, and finding joy in nature at every turn. Seeing landscapes change she wondered why more wasn’t being done to protect the countryside she loved. That early concern for the environment became a lifelong passion, shaping everything she has done since.
As an passionate educator, mother and author, she’s shared that passion for knowledge and curiosity at home, in the classroom and beyond, encouraging others to look more closely at the world around them and feel inspired.
Sally has always had a passion for flavour and a flair for entertaining. Her early love of cocktails began with her much-anticipated yearly themed cocktail parties, inspired by world travel and years spent seeking out the very best drinks (she knows it a tough job but someone had to do it!), from rooftop bars in far-off cities to tucked-away pop-ups.
When COVID lockdown hit, Sally created weekly “Quarantini” uploads on Facebook- playful, uplifting cocktail posts that kept friends and family connected. This sparked In The Mix on TikTok, where she shared recipes, tips, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into the art of cocktail making.
By 2023, her passion had grown into a thriving cocktail events and masterclass business an idea first sparked when she built a mobile bar for a friend’s wedding on the beach the previous summer.
For Sally, this isn’t just about making a delicious cocktail. It’s about telling a story with every recipe inspired by nature, by life and the belief that pleasure and responsibility can (and should) go hand in hand.
