Meet Mariah Hill | Mixologist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Mariah Hill and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mariah, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
During the pandemic, I lost my mom. I told myself I needed to invest my emotions, time and grief into something that would blossom. I know my mom would’ve supported my business to the fullest and would’ve been my biggest brand ambassador.

I was always good at making drinks and would share my talents at the events that our family planned. While celebrations a sibling birthday, we bounced around business names.
Once we landed on a name I gave it my own twist. Sippin in da City.

I’m a city girl at heart. Born and raised in Detroit. I moved to Houston and continued my lifestyle and love for city/urban culture. I’ve continued my business while living here and pray that it expands tremendously.

What should our readers know about your business?
Sippin in da City meets the needs of any everyday person and event needs. The quality of the drinks and the packaging is what sets us apart. The drinks are catered to themes and personalities. If you think of a drink. SNDC can deliver.

The challenge for the business is not having a large networking base. It’s hard to share my passions with others. Yes, there’s social media, but it doesn’t capture my essence and intentions. I want people to purchase from my business because it’ll make them feel good. In exchange for tasty drinks.

Over time I have increased packaging quality and drink variety. I am as successful as my supporters. I’m praying for an influx of life long customers.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If I were to take my bestfriend out, I would take her to Quotes to each a great soul-food meal. We’d head over to Urban Smoke for a nice live music session. We’d end our weekend with brunch at Taste Bar + Kitchen.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to thank my siblings and family friends for believing in me. They all encouraged me to dive into the business. Everywhere they go, they take my business with them and make it their business to promote.
