On The Rocks Girls

Custom Cocktails and Mocktails, Designed Around Your Celebration

On The Rocks Girls designs each cocktail and mocktail menu around your event style, your guest list, and what you actually want people to enjoy. The menu is not a preset list with a few names changed — it is built to fit the celebration you planned. You should be celebrating, not managing.

Our Philosophy

Why We Don't Use a Standard Menu


A standard drink menu is easy for the bar team. It is not always right for the event.

Your celebration has its own setting, guest mix, timeline, and style. The drinks should reflect that. A backyard birthday with 45 guests does not need the same menu as a coastal wedding, a corporate reception, or a formal private dinner.

We design the menu around the way the event will actually move. That includes the drinks themselves, but it also includes how guests will order, how quickly the bar needs to serve, which options should be featured, and what will make the menu easy to understand once the room fills.

A custom menu helps answer the questions guests usually bring to the bar — what to order first, whether there is something light, whether there is a zero-proof option, what the host recommends, whether the menu fits the event. When those answers are already built into the menu, the bar runs better, and the host stays out of the logistics.

What's Always Included

What Every Menu Comes With

Custom Cocktails

Signature recipes developed around your taste and your guests' preferences. We consider spirit, flavor profile, season, presentation, and service practicality before the menu is finalized — not house pours with a garnish added at the end.

Custom Mocktails

Zero-proof drinks receive the same care as every cocktail on the menu. Guests who are not drinking alcohol should not be offered something that feels like an afterthought. We design mocktails with fresh ingredients, balanced flavor, proper glassware, and thoughtful presentation.

Wine, Beer & Familiar Options

Not every guest wants a signature cocktail. Some prefer wine, beer, or something direct and familiar. We help recommend options that support the cocktail program instead of competing with it — giving people enough choice without slowing the bar down.

Polished Presentation

The menu is not just what gets poured. It is what guests see. We coordinate the visible details — glassware, garnishes, menu signage, drink names, and service presentation — so the drinks look considered before anyone takes the first sip.

Signature Creations

A Taste of What We Can Build for You

These are examples of cocktails and mocktails created for past events. Your menu will be different — designed around your event details, guest preferences, venue, season, and service needs. These examples show the thought, balance, and presentation you can expect.

Smoked Citrus Mezcal Paloma cocktail with grapefruit and a charred citrus garnish, an On The Rocks Girls signature drink

Smoked Citrus Mezcal Paloma

Smoky Bright Refined

Fresh grapefruit, mezcal, agave, and a charred citrus finish. Best for warm-weather celebrations, outdoor receptions, and menus built around tequila or mezcal — the smoke stays controlled, the citrus keeps it clean, and the finish gives guests a drink that feels distinct without being difficult to order.

Cucumber Elderflower Spritz with edible flowers in a flute, an On The Rocks Girls signature drink

Cucumber Elderflower Spritz

Crisp Floral Fresh

Cucumber, elderflower, sparkling wine, edible flowers, and a light floral finish. Best for showers, garden parties, coastal events, and spring or summer weddings — light enough for daytime service and refined enough for a seated dinner.

Spicy-Sweet Tropical Margarita with a tajín rim and pineapple garnish, an On The Rocks Girls signature drink

Spicy-Sweet Tropical Margarita

Bold Vibrant Balanced

100% agave tequila, ripe pineapple, citrus, and a tajín rim. Best for milestone birthdays, backyard celebrations, and high-energy receptions — the spice is present but the balance stays clear, so the bar feels lively without losing its polish.

Garden Gin Fizz with lavender, rosemary, and a soft foam top, an On The Rocks Girls signature drink

Garden Gin Fizz

Herbal Airy Timeless

Lavender-infused gin, fresh lemon, rosemary, and a soft foam finish. Best for dinners, weddings, garden settings, and menus with a softer seasonal direction — bright and aromatic in the glass, with flavor clean enough for guests to return to throughout the event.

Berry and Basil Sparkler mocktail with seasonal berries and fresh basil, an On The Rocks Girls signature drink

Berry & Basil Sparkler

Bright Inclusive Celebratory

Crushed seasonal berries, fresh basil, citrus, and sparkling water. Best for inclusive menus, daytime celebrations, family events, and any event where the host wants every guest to have a proper bar option — designed to stand beside the cocktails, not beneath them.

Let's Get Started

From First Pour to Final Toast — the Details Are Handled


A well-run bar changes the way an event feels.

When the menu is thoughtfully designed, the setup is ready before guests arrive, and service moves smoothly throughout the event, the host is free to stay with the people she invited. That is the value of the right bar plan — not just good drinks, but a bar that feels handled. You provide the alcohol. We handle everything else.

Since 2015, On The Rocks Girls has served 250+ Southern California events with licensed and insured staffing and clear communication from inquiry to event day.
