Eager to master mixology and make a name for herself in the industry, Claire entered several cocktail competitions and ultimately won the UK's largest cocktail competition, 'Battle of the Giants' in late 2001.
After brief tenures as Brand Ambassador for vodka brands including Wyborowa and Luksusowa, Claire moved back into the world of mixology in London, working at upscale hotspots including Lonsdale and The Rockwell and studying under two of London's most respected barmen, expert mixologists Dick Bradsell and Henry Besant.
One year later, in 2003, Claire joined Moët Hennessy UK to become the Belvedere Vodka Ambassador and was later promoted to International Communications Manager and currently holds the title Head of Spirit Creation and Mixology.
In this role, Claire is responsible for creating and perfecting Belvedere's new flavors in addition to designing cocktails and setting and identifying key mixology and vodka trends.
In 2009, Claire introduced Belvedere Black Raspberry, a new maceration she spearheaded the creation of to complement Belvedere's other macerations: Citrus and Orange.
Claire is considered one of the most respected authorities on vodka and mixology worldwide, and is regularly interviewed by industry and consumer magazines including The New York Times, GQ, Wine Spectator, Drinks Business, among many others.
