I started crafting drinks out of curiosity, and what began as a passion for cocktails has evolved into a love for all things sippable—mocktails, tea lattes, and beyond. That’s why I’ve rebranded from “Lala’s Cocktail Blog” to “Sips with Kilala”—a name that truly reflects the variety of drinks I love to create and share.

Beyond mixing up drinks, I also enjoy capturing the beauty of each sip through photography. After much thought, I decided to finally share my drinking experiences from my travels and my time living abroad over the past decade. While I love visiting bars and cafés, there’s something special about crafting your own drinks—experimenting with flavors, decorating to your heart’s content, and adjusting everything to your personal taste.

My creations feature a wide range of flavors, but I especially love incorporating Japanese-inspired ingredients that bring me back to my roots and my time growing up in Japan.

Feel free to explore my collection of recipes, unleash your creativity, and savor the endless possibilities that drinks have to offer. Whether you're here for cocktails, mocktails, tea lattes, or travel-inspired flavors, I hope to inspire you to create and enjoy every sip.

Cheers to new beginnings and delicious drinks!
