Welcome to Stirrers & Shakers where innovation meets mixology.

I am Tola Ogunniyi, renowned in the event industry as Tola Cocktails, and I proudly serve as the Managing Director of Stirrers & Shakers Mobile Cocktail Bar Ltd.

Although I initially pursued a career in law, my journey led me to exchange the courtroom bar for the cocktail bar, a decision fueled by my deep love for mixology. What began as a hobby evolved into a profound passion for the art of blending flavors, designing drinks, exploring sensory colors, and embracing the boundless possibilities inherent in creativity. Today, mixing drinks is not just an occupation for me; it's a career born out of genuine enthusiasm.

Around 2010, a pivotal moment led me to recognize a gap in the market. Events often featured limited drink options, lacking that extra special touch to elevate the experience. Stirrers & Shakers was born from the desire to bring a "Wow" factor to events, ensuring each occasion reaches new heights of distinction.



People often inquire about the origin of our name. The inspiration came from a thoughtful gift – a book titled "Shake & Stir." This unexpected gesture ignited the spark that would become the foundation of Stirrers & Shakers.
