Meet Sasala Dissanayake, also known by her signature and personal brand name “Cocktails with Valerie.” She is an amazingly gifted and creative mixologist who concocts some of the most incredible cocktails and mocktails, making even non-alcoholic enthusiasts eager to taste her delightful creations.
Sasala’s journey as a mixologist began during the lockdown, a period that brought her inborn talent and skill to the forefront. With fruit trucks delivering a variety of fruits to her doorstep and a range of quality alcoholic beverages at home, Sasala’s intelligent and creative mind saw an opportunity. She started experimenting, crafting unique cocktails that others would never think of. Her secret lies in her dedication to finding the perfect combinations and ratios of mixtures and ingredients, resulting in signature cocktails that not only satisfy the palate but also stimulate the mind and mood.
Dr. G, the visionary behind Blueprint A 2 Z and Wedding Angel, is thrilled to have Sasala join his team as a freelance mixologist for events and weddings. Sasala’s presence, with her glowing beauty, incredible skills, and artistic presentation, adds an extra X-factor to every event. Her cocktails are not just drinks; they are a testament to world-class standards of mixology, delivered with her unique sassiness and finesse.
Among her many signature cocktails, Sasala’s top three favorites are the Strawberry Smash, Lychee Martini, and Arrack Attack. Each of these cocktails offers an out-of-this-world taste experience that must be savored to be believed.
Sasala’s knack for hospitality is inherited from her father, a distinguished gentleman who has held numerous director positions. Her experience in a senior executive role at one of Sri Lanka’s leading conglomerates further enhances her exceptional personality and professionalism at every event she attends.
Despite her beauty, brains, and talent, Sasala remains humble and modest, making her a charming and delightful individual to work with. If you want to create magic and ensure your next event or function is unforgettable, look no further than Dr. G, the premier event and wedding planner extraordinaire, and his amazingly talented mixologist, Sasala, aka Cocktails with Valerie.
