The future of drinking is not one size fits all

From private parties to brand activations, discover experiences that make room for curiosity, moderation, pleasure and possibility.

Imagine a world where drinking choices feel flexible and full of possibility. Where the decision is not simply whether you are drinking or not, but how you want to shape the night - with the freedom to choose your own adventure as it unfolds.

Maybe you start with a full-strength cocktail, then move onto something mid-strength to keep the evening level. Maybe your drinks are chosen around a mood or feeling - relaxed, social, energised - with functional drinks opening up a different kind of experience altogether. Maybe everyone at the table is drinking the same beautiful cocktail, just in the expression that suits them best: alcohol-free, mid-strength or full-strength.

That is what Maria makes possible.

Through The Midnight Muddler, she creates events and experiences that rethink how drinking can work - opening up a more inclusive, expressive and pleasurable way for people to enjoy the night. One where guests can zebra stripe, coast, moderate, stay alcohol-free, or move between options naturally as the evening unfolds. One where better choices do not feel like a compromise, but part of a more exciting, more social, more thoughtful experience.

What We Offer

The Midnight Muddler brings this perspective to life through three core offers - Events, Brand Advocacy and Alcohol Free Discovery - each designed to make better drinking choices feel exciting, social and full of possibility.

  • Every event has its own energy. Some are intimate and celebratory. Some are social and high-spirited. Some are about bringing people together around a brand, a moment or a shared experience. Maria builds drinks-led events around that energy - giving guests the freedom to enjoy the night in the way that suits them best. Whether it’s a private party, a corporate/team-building event or a public pop-up, the result is an experience that feels inclusive, thoughtful and genuinely memorable.

    See what’s possible

  • The right brand experience can change how people see a drink. Maria creates brand advocacy experiences that help people discover new products in a way that feels natural, credible and from a place of knowledge. From retail tastings to pop-ups, she brings warmth, expertise and a clear point of view - creating moments that people connect with and remember.

    Bring your product to life

  • A private, one-to-one session tailored entirely to you.

    Each experience is shaped around your preferences, lifestyle, and intent - whether you’re looking to elevate your at-home drinking, navigate social occasions more confidently, or explore alcohol-free and functional drinks with purpose.
    Rather than generic recommendations, you’ll receive considered, curated guidance that helps you understand what suits you - and why.

  • A wonderful evening with Maria learning about non-alcoholic drinks. Informal, fun, and surprisingly informative. Maria's warmth and ability to connect the group made the experience exceptional.

    Fong, Kent

  • Maria made our teenage daughter's birthday party so special. She showed a room of impressionable young people, how you can enjoy and celebrate with interesting and special drinks, without alcohol. Everyone felt involved, and uplifted - hopefully this will stick with them as they grow up and navigate the very complex world of 'drinking'

    Helen, Kent

  • Maria was excellent at my alcohol-free cocktail making party, she made a great effort to personalise the experience for me with specific drinks of my choice with my favourite flavours! Not only did she bring the drinks but she also made everyone smile and brought the party vibes too!

    Flo, Kent

  • My friend and I were invited to a special tasting evening of non-alcoholic and functional drinks and it was eye opening! So many amazing ingredients with benefits for wellbeing and cognition, we all had different opinions on our favourite, so it's definitely worth going to a tasting session if you get the chance! Maria is lovely and takes the time to explain every drink and combination options for cocktails etc. A lot of fun and very interesting! Came away with new ideas and lots of laughs!
