The Vintage Horse - Cocktail Recipe Round Up

When we discovered The Vintage Horse we were smitten with the mobile bar concept. The owner, Jen, is a true go-getter! After loosing her hospitality job during Covid she decided to launch her mobile bar business - a dream she had been holding on to since her wedding 4 years earlier. 

Towards the end of the Summer we reached out to Jen to see if we could check out her stunning mobile bar and taste some of her delicious cocktails. We were NOT disappointed!

The bar itself is an old horse trailer that Jen and her husband refurbished themselves. With some white paint, subway tiles and rustic wooden details they were able to transforms a tattered old trailer into an insanely chic mobile bar that has been the focal point of every event they attend. 

And while the drinks are beautiful and bubbly - Jen's sparkling personality is the cherry on top of this amazing entrepreneurial feat. She is a true woman for women! Even though she just launched her business in the beginning of 2021 she has also been making it a priority to highlight other amazing businesses that are partnering with her - from event staging companies to cheese board builders - if you are a small, women owned business - Jen will be the first person to happily hype you up!  

We were lucky enough to taste some of Jen's fabulous cocktails. If you have been following along on our Instagram or facebook page we've been highlighting weekly cocktail recipes from The Vintage Horse. We wanted to make sure they were all rounded up in one place for you so without further ado...
