Irish celebrity Brian Dowling will be shaking things up with the launch of his own cocktail range with Muff Liquor Company.

The cheeky Inishowen craft drinks company has announced a new collaboration with Brian Dowling Gourounlian, Big Brother’s most famous housemate.

Brian has created his own ‘Braintini’ range of tasty cocktails. The first DIY cocktail box will go on sale tonight, Friday 5th at 9pm after Brian unveils the first ‘Briantini’ on his Instagram @bprdowling and on @muffliquorco Instagram & Facebook page at 8pm.

This collaboration will see the media presenter, also once voted Ireland’s Most Stylish Man, launching his first-ever range of Muff vodka themed cocktails into the Irish market in time for St Patrick’s Day, March 17.

Brian said “Anyone who knows or follows me knows that I love a good cocktail. I am a big fan of The Muff Liquor Company’s craft potato vodka and gin products – they are just delicious. I adore the brand and what Laura and the team have created up in Donegal. And naturally – every time I hear the name I have a little chuckle to myself! I have been asked a number of times to collaborate with brands and this is one I wanted to do from the get go – because let’s be honest who doesn’t love a cocktail?”.

The Muff Liquor Company was co-founded by Inishowen businesswoman Laura Bonner in 2017 and has gone on to win global awards for its Muff Gin, Muff Vodka and Muff Whiskey.

Laura is hugely excited about the partnership with Brian Dowling Gourounlian and says cocktail lovers in Ireland are in for a real treat with the ‘Briantini’.

“We have had so much fun working with Brian. He is a fantastic person, full of enthusiasm and energy,” Laura said.

“He really adores our vodka and gin products and is very positive about our brand and what we stand for. Brian is very supportive of small Irish businesses and we are delighted to be collaborating with him on this exciting adventure. Lockdown has been tough for everyone and we believe the ‘Briantini’s’ will really hit the spot for those looking to enjoy some tasty sophistication delivered to their door for St Patrick’s Day.”

The Briantini Box will be dispatched in a beautifully designed navy and gold package that will include a menu card, a personal message from Brian, and the luxurious ingredients of Muff Vodka and fruity ingredients and mixers to make your delicious ‘Briantini’.

Priced at €39.50 they can be delivered across Ireland and ordered via The Muff Liquor company website or email Briantini@themuffliquorcompany.com
