I’ve worked with Snake Oil for all my corporate events and they’ve consistently delivered exceptional service and made a lasting impression to all our guests. I requested what type of cocktails I was interested in serving and they improvised to make it perfect for the event. The staff is friendly and professional — I worked closely with Natasha and her team. They created an excellent experience beyond our expectations.

We used Snake Oil for a corporate event and we couldn’t have been happier with our experience. They were on-​time, courteous and professional, but the most important part was how AWESOME the drinks were! We held a open house where brokers tend to show up for one drink and then leave, but this time people hung out and stayed late. We will be using Snake Oil for all of our future events.

I’ve been working with Snake Oil Cocktail Co. for many of my company’s events and they always go above & beyond to make us look fabulous! Our guests have grown to love and expect Snake Oil standards at our events, and who can blame them — the drinks are delicious, the staff is always friendly and knowledgeable, they are on time and respond to inquiries within a few hours, if that. Would highly recommend for any event, large or small, public or private!

They have been the bartenders at a few events I attended and the staff is always very friendly and professional. This time, I tried the strawberry fields drink at an event and it was absolutely refreshing and complemented the food that was showcased. They had 2 stations set up, so I didn’t have to wait long to get my drinks.

Natasha and her team at Snake Oil Cocktail Co. were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We contacted them to help with our Thursday Club Juniors Gala benefiting StandUp For Kids and they went out of their way, and at no profit, to provide everything we needed for the event. They created a fantastic speciality drink that matched our theme and provided over the top service that really «raised the bar» at our event! I highly recommend!

Snake Oil recently was the alcohol vendor for our wedding on 3⁄27 and did a fantastic job! They were easy to work with, very friendly and professional throughout the lead up to the wedding. We got to taste our signature cocktails before hand, which were delicious and a big hit at the the wedding. The night of the wedding the bar staff was quick, friendly and attentive. For such a high end alcohol vendor the price was very reasonable as well. I would highly recommend Snake Oil for any function you have.

Killer approach to cocktails. After a night of networking, with Snake Oil there to take the edge off the awkward, I have to say I’m thoroughly impressed. Light, refreshing with a balanced edge that left you wanting more, my only thoughts: just keep on slingin’.

Crafty and unique cocktails!
I’ve tasted Snake Oil concoctions on a few different occasions and these are the most creative cocktails I’ve tried while attending social events.
The drinks are never sweet, mostly light and refreshing, the blend of ingredients is sometimes unexpected but the final result taste delicious!

The best cocktails I am drinking lately come from this local company! I thought this was a brand from somewhere else, until I asked the mixologists last Saturday at the Mingei Fusion event. The offered The Vibe! menu and I loved the 3 drinks offered, especially the Palomita cachanilla (cachanilla tequila, cayenne infusion, agave nectar, pressed grapefruit and lemon and black sea salt). Not to miss! I am happy to see them at many of the events I am invited, because I know for sure I am going to enjoy a gourmet drink made with craftsmanship!

Hour and a half late to the event, needed to use my people to prep their garnish, left unannounced, needed to borrow supplies to power their equipment, didnt hear them say please or thank you one time, condescending attitude. Drinks were good.
Hours of prep to make my party for 800 go off smoothly, and coordination with 5 vendors to make it happen. This was the only group that couldnt manage to do it themselves and was the only stress in my day… Not worth the hassle.

If it’s a Snake Oil Event, you know you’ll be taken care of!
Ian and Lucien are the best mixologists in SD and their culinary approach to making cocktails makes everything an instant party!
(You probably have ordered their cocktail lists at Whisknladle or Seersucker and not even known it!)
If you need a custom cocktail or want to step it up at your next event– these guys are a must!

Ian Ward created JUST what we wanted for our wedding in October. Since most of our guests were from the South we wanted a ‘southern’ sangria. He proposed a smoked peach sweet tea sangria. Fresh tea, vodka, wine, and smoked peaches — I drank this all night! The green tea and lychee sangria was perfect for the sunny wedding day and was very SoCal. Ian got us everything we needed to make our wedding day a little different, and custom to us, which was important. All the sangria was gone at the end of the night, and we had MORE than enough to go around. I’d say it was quite a hit.
If I have another party or special event I will call on this company to create something perfect for the theme and audience.
