Musical Mixology
Rocktails Brands provided a musical cocktail tutorial experience which took place at ADC Art Gallery for the Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) Cincinnati. Rocktails: An Amped Up Spin on Mixology designed cocktails in honor of James Brown and Walk the Moon, both musical artists with a Cincinnati Connection. Guests learned a bit about the musicians personal bios and their Queen City affiliation along with curated specialty cocktails. Bars on Wheels provided VIP Top Shelf Classic Cocktail bar service, While Rocktails performed songs by each artist!
It all began with a playlist and a musical journey through the Big Rock n Roll Candy Mountain (click here for the curated playlist that we created to inspire the Pop Up Bar.) Rocktails designed a drinkable immersive story to experience at Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati in April of 2023. Attendees were welcomed by the Rock Candy Princesses who offered a glittery sparkling wine upon entry garnished with old fashioned rock candy as a stir stick to move the edible glitter around the champagne flute. With each twist and turn of the pop up, guests were met with a new character from the Big Rock n Roll Candy Mountain who not only had a story to tell, but an over the top signature drink and song.
No matter how large or small, we absolutely love the chance to design personal menus. We take pride in creativity and go the extra mile to get to know our clients. Each ingredient and garnish is a choice and reflection of the host or honoree’s style, love, passion, favorite song, or themed event colors. We would love to put together a menu JUST for you!

Rocktails Celebrates Cincinnati Music History with a fashion show
Finding avenues to market Rocktails: An Amped Up Spin on Mixology, Music History Coffee Table Cocktail Book, is such a creative journey. This stand out event was an outrageous fashion show at Urban Artifact to bring the book to life with the songs and musical artists that inspired the whole Rocktails Brand to begin with, working together with Kintimit Costume and Events and Mitchell’s Salon.

Rocktails honors musicians through the art of Mixology
Rocktails is lucky enough to have found kindred spirits whose mission is to also spread the good word about Cincinnati Music History. Queen City Cabaret has joined forces with Rocktails on several events, and continues working collaborations to this day. Queen City Cabaret has performed the Cincinnati Rocktails book from cover to cover in true Cabaret form through storytelling and musical selections from the artists featured within its pages. This particular event took place at Arts Connect. While on stage, Mayalou and Kristen shared the personal biographies and Cincinnati Connections of 4 music icons and discussed in detail the cocktails that we designed in the honor of those musical legends. When a Rocktail is designed, each ingredient is carefully chosen to represent characteristics of the subject they are honoring through the art of Mixology. Even down to the style in which one should shake or stir. After the spirited cocktail presentation, Queen City Cabaret wowed the crowd with mini sets of each of the honoree’s tunes. During Queen City Cabaret’s performance, Mayalou and Kristen, with the help of a few amazing volunteers, crafted and hand delivered the specialty cocktails, both alcoholic and zero proof, to each and every one of the 200 guests who attended. That was a total of 800 Rocktails! It was a one of a kind interactive dinner theater experience!!!
love of Local & Colorful creations
Rocktails Brands brings a bit of excitement to corporate events. Bars on Wheels were hired initially to simply provide a bar service for a corporate event at the Quad in the Time Equities building, celebrating Cincinnati Artists and Creatives. They loved our Rocktails concept and were thrilled to have an “Amp Uped” bar program with a full Rocktails Menu. Rocktails Bars on Wheels incorporated many local breweries and wineries like Rhinegeist, MadTree, Braxton Garage, and Revel Urban Winery to make the event even more special.
