About Us
Welcome to Pinned Drinks!
I’m Elowen Hartley, founder of Pinned Drinks.
Drinks have always been a big part of my life. My mother worked as a coffee chef at Starbucks, so coffee was never just a drink in our home.
It was part of the daily routine, the atmosphere, and the conversation.
I grew up around espresso shots, steaming milk, coffee aromas, and endless talk about roasts, syrups, and why foam matters.
As a teenager, I spent a lot of time around the counter tasting, watching, and trying to make drinks on my own.
Some turned out well, and some definitely did not, but that curiosity stayed with me. What started with coffee gradually grew into an interest in tea, smoothies, iced drinks, and creative non-alcoholic recipes.

Over time, experimenting with drinks became something I genuinely loved.
I learned how small changes in ingredients, temperature, and technique could completely change the final result.
That experience is what led me to create Pinned Drinks.
Pinned Drinks is a space where I share simple, practical, and enjoyable drink ideas for everyday life.
Whether you’re making coffee to start your morning, tea to slow down in the evening, a smoothie for a quick boost, or a mocktail for something a little different, my goal is to help you make drinks you’ll actually want to enjoy at home.
I believe good drinks do not need to be complicated.
They should be approachable, enjoyable, and easy to make. Through Pinned Drinks, I share recipes, tips, and ideas to help you explore new flavors and enjoy every sip a little more.
Thanks for being here.
Elowen Hartley
