Meet Soral
Hi, I’m Soral!
I’ve brought together my two loves - science and flavour - to create Soralina: a mixology service that focuses on creating experiences that wow every drinker.
Science has always been a passion of mine. From my first science lessons at school, to studying it at university, I’ve always been fascinated by the process and the magic of science.
And my other love has been food and drink. From a young age, I’ve been in the kitchen whipping up cakes, bakes and all sorts of meals.
Rooted in Homegrown Goodness
At Soralina, we strive to use quality ingredients and homegrown botanicals (where possible/depending on seasonality).
All of our syrups are made fresh to order, and are infused with herbs and botanicals grown lovingly in our gardens. They contain no artificial flavours, colours or preservatives.
Herbs and edible flowers are cut on the day of your event to ensure they stay fresh. We also crystallise our own edible flowers and herbs on the premises to create garnishes for our cocktails.
We strive to use seasonal ingredients wherever possible, and partner with mixer and spirit brands that we truly love.
For me, science goes hand-in-hand with food and drink. I love to come up with new and exciting flavour combinations to tantalise the taste buds as well as show-stopping ways to present my inventions!
I’ve always believed that it’s more fun to be a bit quirky and stand out. And the same applies to everything I bake, cook and love to drink - it’s no wonder why my friends always called me the ‘mad scientist’!
Let’s go back to the beginning
It all started at the start of 2020, when I had the opportunity to work with a fellow business owner with a private dining business.
I came up with a bespoke cocktail menu to complement her food courses…and then turned up at the house of none other than Joe Wicks aka The Body Coach to serve them up!
Until then, I’d only really made cocktails for nights in with friends, and hadn’t really thought about turning it into a business.
But that event sparked something in me, and I knew I’d found a passion that I wanted to pursue.
I started getting more event bookings through word-of-mouth while at the same time setting up my Instagram to start talking about my business.
And then…lockdown hit in March 2020 and all my booked events had to be cancelled.
I’d barely got the ball rolling before I was back to square 1!
I pivoted the business to create home cocktail kits for that I sold online. Each kit had mixers and garnishes, along with Soralina-infused syrups and spirits so customers could make their own seasonal cocktails from the comfort of their home.
We sold hard, and Christmas was one of the busiest times ever!
Taking Events to the Next Level
Fast forward a few years, and we’re now taking on private and corporate bookings that are beyond anything I could have imagined in 2020.
From corporate Christmas parties to events for Jay Shetty and even appearing on TOWIE…the Soralina journey has been a rollercoaster so far, but one I wouldn’t change for the world.
I hope you’ll consider booking us for your next event, so we can shake up drinks that will surprise and delight!
