A Love Letter to Brunch, Flavor & the People We Share It With
Hello, friend. I’m so glad you’re here.
If you’ve ever been to a backyard brunch that turns into an all-day affair, or poured someone a cocktail that made their whole face light up, then you already know a little bit about what drives me.
Diane’s Bloody Mary was never just a product idea. It was never about putting something in a bottle and selling it for the sake of business. This mix was born from a lifetime of hosting, feeding and celebrating people. From early Sundays tailgating with my husband, complete with a full Bloody Mary bar and gourmet dishes straight from the restaurant kitchen, to neighborhood parties, auctions and garden experiments, it has always been about that moment when someone takes a sip and says, “Wow, what is this?”
This is love in a glass. This is my way of welcoming you to the table.
I created our first mix with San Marzano tomatoes, hand-chopped vegetables from our test garden and fresh herbs like lavash because I wanted every part of it to feel alive, vibrant and clean. Not overprocessed. Not acidic. Just deeply satisfying, soulfully made and easy to enjoy with or without alcohol.
My dream is for this brand to be more than a mixer. I want it to be part of the memories you make. Whether it's brunch with your best friends, a vacation cocktail on the porch, your wedding shower or just a quiet Sunday morning, I hope it adds something special. That’s why we’re building a lifestyle brand rooted in wellness, joy and hospitality. We’ll be sharing new recipes, brunch experiences and a few surprises along the way.
I believe in ingredients you can pronounce, stories you want to tell and moments that make you put your phone down and laugh a little louder.
So here’s to you. The at-home host. The cocktail enthusiast. The flavor lover. The brunch dreamer. This blog is for you. It will be filled with recipes, entertaining tips, behind-the-scenes stories and ways to make your gatherings feel effortless and beautiful.
From my garden to your glass,
Cheers,
Diane
