Once upon a sip

Our Story

It started, like all the best stories do, with a meet-cute — a hot Tucson afternoon, a Diet Coke with coconut cream, and a movie marathon that wouldn't quit.

Love at First Sip was born from a love of two things: fizzy, dreamy dirty sodas, and the cozy comfort of a good romcom. Every drink on our menu is named after the films we quote, the scenes we rewind, and the moments we wish lasted a little longer.

Pop the top. Press play. Fall in love — one sip at a time.

Meet the founder

Savannah Hopkins

Savannah is a Tucson teacher turned local business owner with a soft spot for sprinkles, sparkling water, and the kind of community you'd expect to find in a big city. After years of pouring into her classroom, she set out to pour something new — building a brand that brings people together over a little fizz, a little frosting, and a lot of heart.

When she's not behind the booth, you'll catch her at the gym, in the kitchen testing new bakes, or filming the next chapter of the Love at First Sip story for the camera.

For the Love of Tucson

Our mission is simple: bring the kind of small-business magic you'd find in LA, Nashville, or NYC right here to the Old Pueblo. We believe Tucson deserves cute little moments, big neighborhood energy, and a community where the regulars know your name (and your drink order).

Show up locally

Lift up neighbors

Partnering with local bakers, makers, and nonprofits to share the booth and the spotlight.

Give back

A portion of every event goes toward Tucson schools and youth programs close to Savannah's teacher heart.
