A NORTH Yorkshire artisan spirit company has taken delivery of a mobile bar to extend the reach of its award-winning liqueurs.

The Little Red Berry Company of Ripon commissioned the restoration of a vintage rice trailer to create a unique, mobile cocktail bar that has been named "Little Berry Bar".

Rachel Jamieson, company co-founder, said: "Our original idea was to commission a vintage-style mobile cocktail bar to fill a growing demand for the wedding and private events markets and Little Berry is perfect for the job. Her red and cream appearance definitely makes her a 'she'! She works really well with our brand and stands out from the crowd."

Mrs Jamieson said Little Berry would suit marquee and outdoor venues and anyone who is in need of a cocktail bar with a difference.

It will serve the companies own rustic cocktails from their liqueur range, including Damson in a Dress (Damson Gin Liqueur with Orange and Prosecco) and Raspberry Zing Bling (Fresh raspberries, Basil, Raspberry Gin Liqueur, Soda water and Lime juice).

Mrs Jamieson, who ran weddings and events for five years before setting up The Little Red Berry Co, said: "There is so much more scope for new and different event services now. Quirky options simply weren't available when I started in the event industry ten years ago, so it's exciting to be able to run with an exciting new trend."

She runs the company with husband, Rob, and a growing team who have celebrated their most successful year to date and have recently taken delivery of a new 300-litre stainless steel tank to satisfy the increased demand for its gin and liqueurs.

"We have recently expanded the team in preparation for Christmas and now have someone looking after our online accounts and social media in house. Having just taken on a 13-week contract to supply the new John Lewis store in Leeds in the run-up to Christmas, it's all go at Berry HQ!" said Mrs Jamieson.

The Little Red Berry Company's range includes Guild of Fine Food starred Strawberry Vodka Liqueur and Blackcurrant Vodka Liqueur and are available from festivals, independent retailers and online at thelittleredberry.co.uk and notonthehighstreet.com/thelittleredberryco.

The Bar will be at the Yorkshire Bridal Fair at the Great Yorkshire Showground, Harrogate, on October 2, and Otley Christmas Market on December 4. To hire contact info@thelittleredberry.co.uk.
