Hidden Gems: Meet Susan Knapp of Olive Mixology, LLC

Today we’d like to introduce you to Susan Knapp

Hi Susan, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Olive Mixology was founded by USAF veteran, Susan Knapp in 2024. My passion for cooking and creating unique and interesting cocktails began at the age of 25 and has blossomed into a passionate career. I started as a private bartender for friends and family and one day my best friend, Savara said, “You really need to start your own company!” And a few years later, it’s grown into what is now Olive Mixology LLC.

“I enjoy seeing the delite on the faces of my friends and family when they indulge in the many new dishes and cocktails I create. I love hearing stories of how certain flavors remind them of people or places. I guess you could say that my love language is creating the taste of nostalgia. I want to bring that experience to all of my clientele! An experience they will never forget!”

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
So far it’s been smooth sailing! I think when you enjoy doing something and seeing smiles on your clients faces, it makes any bumps in the road manageable!
