If the idea of a mobile bar that serves up fresh margaritas sounds like a dream come true, I have good news.
Rasta Rita is a California-based catering company that has been "pouring love since 2006." Their business got a huge boost when they began serving up hand-crafted drinks from a converted vintage van.
Now, their mobile margarita bar is sure to turn any party into a true fiesta.
"Well, I fell in love with the truck because I thought it was really just a neat looking truck," he said in an email to Diply.
Mario purchased the 1965 GMC step-up van for $1000 knowing that it would need some serious TLC.
It took five years and $120,000 in repairs to restore the van to working order.
Originally, Mario envisioned Rita's mobile bar would be a side business to his existing taco catering company.
"At first, like any business, your knee-jerk reaction is to do everything. But, once the customers got involved by ordering our services, they are the ones who really shaped who and what we are," he said.
She is the perfect accessory to any wedding or party and makes a great backdrop for Instagram-worthy pictures.
You can even book Rita to cater kids' parties with non-alcoholic cocktails!
"I feel, the secret really is, making your own mixes from scratch. Most of the mixes that are out there are either bottled or pasteurized and then sold refrigerated," he explained.
Mario says cucumber jalapeño, strawberry, and jalapeño cilantro are the most popular flavors.

Rasta Rita also offers a portable bar suitable for indoor events, as well as other specialty cocktail bars.
