Guinness Cold brew Coffee Beer!
Guinness Irish beer is one of the largest beer brands in the world, so I was really excited to be the face of Guinness’ new Cold Brew Coffee Beer launch in October 2022.
Myself (as the coffee expert) and @Jacksotti (as the Guinness Expert) were part of Guinness’ campaign trying it for the first time on camera and giving our thoughts with an explanation of the ‘two-part pour” process that Guinness and Coffee have in common.
With flavourful notes of Coffee, Chocolate and Caramel I was pleasantly surprised and it made for a delicious yet refreshingly sweet taste sensation. The coffee flavour really came through, but was not overpowering and I liked that it wasn’t as sweet as the regular Guinness.
I was part of their strategy, coffee flavour consulting on coffee trends and their marketing campaign where I also hosted a live tasting event at London’s reputable Kaffiene Cafe and spoke to traditional media and influencers on the product.

Baileys Irish Cream
"Treat Collective" Campaign
2018 - Shortlisted for the PRCA Campaign award
Baileys Irish cream has chosen five female entrepreneurs in the artisan food and drink industry to be part of a Treat Collective #TREATUP campaign. Each of us bring something unique to the mix, as ambassadors in our own fields. In both campaigns I have been part of, with these amazing women, we are collaborating to create amazing, decadent but simple recipes for people to make at home and in bars and restaurants throughout the country. The most recent project is part of the Bailey's Almande Dairy-free spring Launch and rolled out across all social and various media platforms.
I will be at THE LAB sessions during this London Coffee Festival (2pm, April 14 & 15) work-shopping one of my creations and at the Baileys Women's Prize For Fiction Shortlist awards, main event workshop showcasing two of my coffee-cocktails at Waterstones in London.
