Our Community!
As a family owned and operated business, community is at the foundation of everything we do. The support of our community has turned this dream into reality and so it is with great pride that we support...
- Local businesses: from the label printer whose work puts the finishing touch on each bottle to our hand-painted mural (photo opp, anyone?), and of course the always in-season fruits and vegetables at the center of everything we serve, we try and buy local as much as we can -- just like you!
- Woman-owned businesses: we're excited to partner with and promote women-owned businesses across the Chicagoland area. Shoot us a DM or drop a stack of business cards and we'll do the rest.
- Nonprofits: each month, we highlight a nonprofit we're loving and ways you can get involved.
- Connection: Happy Mouth is a place where friends and strangers alike can gather over a fresh cup of lemonade or a refreshing slushy. Order in or bring a plate and your favorite games while we pour up the perfect pairing for your Friday night!
- And of course, the kiddoes: come grab a book from Riley's corner for a little sip and read and feel free to bring your new favorite book home. Donations welcome :)
My Story
For years I have been a Mom of four who has never drank alcohol, but just loves a delicious drink! I used lots of different fruits and vegetables to make lemonades. Some my kids loved, some they grew to love. In the same breath I was always adding different flavors in maple syrup and using them to make compotes because the taste of maple was too flat and a little too sweet for me. While I was working at nights as a baby nurse I literally night dream of how I could turn my lemonade, fruit infused syrups and compotes into a business. The turning point was 2021 when I took four flavors of my syrups to Whole Foods and the manager loved them. Then June 2022 I made a batch of strawberry lemonade and my youngest daughter said, "Mom it's so delicious you should sell it!" So we went out with a table with two pitchers to our local park and the rest as they say is history!
