Cali Craft Concoctions. Same Bar. Different Consequences.

 

THE STORY OF CALI CRAFT CONCOCTIONS

Born in Perth, Western Australia, Sarah Lawrence landed in California with a fierce work ethic and an eye for detail that would redefine the mobile bar experience. In 2015, she launched Cali Craft Cocktails, a mobile bartending service created to raise the standard of event bars with efficiency, elegance, and drinks worth remembering.

The business took off—fast. For nearly a decade, Sarah and her team were averaging 100+ events a year. Not because they were the cheapest option, but because they were the most thoughtful. Guests left raving, and hosts slept easier knowing everything behind the bar was handled.

But here’s the twist: somewhere along the way, Sarah stopped feeling aligned with alcohol. Most people would’ve walked away, called it a day. Instead, she doubled down on what she does best—caring about the details. That’s when Cali Craft Concoctions was born. Same setup. Same energy. Same flawless service. Only this time, the drinks are zero-proof. Same bar. Different consequences.

The New Party Paradigm

Sarah’s clients still want to party—but they don’t need blackout nights to prove it. They want options. They want to dance, celebrate, and wake up without a hangover or regrets. And Sarah delivers.

Every menu now includes both cocktails and their zero-proof counterparts—not sad stand-ins, but fully crafted drinks with adaptogens, nootropics, and botanicals that energize instead of exhaust. These aren’t placeholders. They’re original creations that stand tall in their own glass.

And maybe that’s the point—whether you’re sipping a mezcal margarita or a non-alcoholic botanical spritz, you feel seen, included, and part of the celebration. Nobody’s left out holding a Coke can in the corner.

Why It Works

Most bars settle. Mediocre service. Drinks that feel like an afterthought. Sarah isn’t wired that way. She obsesses over every detail—systems, menus, setups. That’s why her clients rebook with a single text.

She’s also ahead of the cultural curve. Alcohol isn’t disappearing, but it is shifting. People want experiences that elevate, not numb. In Los Angeles—where wellness and longevity are the baseline—Sarah’s zero-proof concoctions feel less like a fad and more like the inevitable future of the party.

More Than Just Drinks

Events should feel like celebrations, not endurance tests. Too often the bar sets people up for the latter: cheap pours, long waits, no options for the sober-curious. Cali Craft flips that script.

Whether it’s a wedding where guests deserve more than just a hangover souvenir, or a brand activation that demands the bar live up to the creative, Cali Craft delivers. The philosophy is simple: if it’s in your glass, it should be memorable. Alcoholic or not.

The Future of the Party

The tide is turning. Younger generations care less about getting wasted and more about connection, wellness, and experiences they’ll actually remember. In LA, where health is part of the culture, Cali Craft Concoctions isn’t competing with traditional bar service—it’s redefining it.

It’s not about dividing drinkers from non-drinkers. It’s about building a space where everyone can raise a glass and still feel good the next morning. Same bar. Different consequences.

The Legacy

Ask Sarah how she wants to be remembered in 20 years and she won’t give you a marketing line. She’ll tell you: “My god, they actually gave a f*ck. Do you remember those days?”

That’s the difference. Anyone can pour a drink. Few can create an experience that stays with you. Cali Craft proves that whether your glass is spiked or sober, the bar should always make you feel welcome, worthy, and celebrated.

Cali Craft doesn’t draw lines between drinkers and non-drinkers. It creates a space where everyone raises a glass and still feels good the next day.
