If someone sends you an email inviting you to change the way the world drinks, I bet there is no way you wouldn’t take up that challenge. Our guest did receive that exact email, and three years down the line, she has!

I’m Susan Schwartz, your drinking companion, and this is, Lush Life Podcast, every week we are inspired to live life one cocktail at a time.

Claire Warner, co-founder of Æcorn, the non-alcoholic range of aperitifs, was working hard at Belvedere Vodka when she answered that cri de guerre because its sender was Ben Branson who brought Seedlip into the world and created a whole new category of drinks - but you can catch his story on a previous episode. We are here to talk about Claire.

Claire’s climb from bartender to competition winner to global brand ambassador is best described as full-on and non-stop. The more time she spent in the air, the more time spent in nature became an integral part of her life. When she received that email, Claire found she was about to experience being comfortable in the uncomfortable. 

Clementines are still in season, so grab those wintery delights and let’s make our cocktail of the week, the Æcorn Clementine Spritz!
