Company description

Brown Girl Mixers was born from a love of entertaining, great flavors, and the belief that what we drink should be just as thoughtfully crafted as the food we eat.

Founded in Atlanta by hospitality professional and culinary storyteller Nicky Hines, Brown Girl Mixers creates handcrafted syrups, shrubs, and non-alcoholic bitters designed to elevate cocktails, mocktails, tea, sparkling water, and more. Every product is made with real ingredients—fresh herbs, fruits, spices, and organic sugars—without extracts, added juices, or artificial shortcuts.

Our flavor combinations are inspired by both classic mixology and culinary creativity, from Lemon Basil and Lavender to Hibiscus, Ginger, and Cucumber Jalapeño, with seasonal flavors rotating throughout the year. In 2025, we expanded our line with NA bitters, continuing our commitment to thoughtful beverage innovation.

You’ll most often find us where food lovers gather—farmers markets, specialty food retailers, and culinary events across the Atlanta area—sharing samples, talking flavor, and showing people how easy it is to create something special in their glass.

Brown Girl Mixers is still proudly a small but growing company, which means every team member plays a real role in building the brand. We’re looking for people who love food culture, enjoy connecting with customers, and want to be part of a business rooted in craft, community, and creativity.
