Meet Rissa – The Heart Behind the Rocks

Hi, I’m Rissa! The face behind Rissa on the Rocks and your go-to bartender for unforgettable events. My journey behind the bar began back in 2013, slinging drinks in a gritty pool hall in San Antonio. What started as a side hustle quickly became a passion for the art of hospitality, storytelling through cocktails, and connecting with people from all walks of life.

I’ve spent over 12 years behind the bar, from neighborhood spots to private events, and every pour has shaped how I serve today: with heart, precision, and a whole lot of personality.

As a military spouse of 10 years, I understand how important it is to make moments matter. That’s why Rissa on the Rocks isn’t just about mixing drinks, it’s about elevating your experience with thoughtful details, a smooth vibe, and cocktails that taste as good as they look.

Whether I'm building your custom drink menu or guiding you through the dry hire process, I bring professionalism, charm, and creative flair to every event. From bold signature cocktails to polished setups, I aim to make your celebration stress-free, stylish, and so worth toasting to.

Let’s make your event unforgettable, served with a smile, and shaken with care.
