Your Campaign. Your Artwork. Your Signature Drink.
Give guests a drink that feels part of your campaign. Happy Sips creates branded canned cocktails, mocktails, iced coffee and matcha for product launches, retail activations, exhibitions and events.
Choose your drink, personalise the can and decide how it reaches your audience: prepared for delivery or filled and sealed live at your activation.
Happy Sips brings a canned-drinks format to the wider event experience of the teams behind Cocktails With Mario, Barista Hire London and Matcha Activations.
The Event Experience Behind Happy Sips
From multi-store retail campaigns to international launches, our wider team understands the practical work behind a branded drinks experience: developing the menu, preparing the equipment, coordinating staff and keeping presentation consistent.
The following projects were delivered by our sister businesses as live drinks activations.
Molton Brown: Matcha Across Eight UK Locations
For Molton Brown’s Tea Collection launch, Barista Hire London delivered a matcha activation across eight UK locations. The enquiry began through Cocktails With Mario before moving into a specialist matcha service.
The campaign shows how our connected teams can develop an initial drinks brief into a coordinated retail experience.
Levi’s: A Coffee Campaign Across Four Stores
Barista Hire London’s Levi’s “Baggy Season” activation covered four UK locations, serving more than 4,000 coffees over three days.
For agencies planning several sites, this illustrates the coordination required to keep drinks, equipment and service aligned across one campaign.
O2 and Samsung: A Coordinated Launch Weekend
Cocktails With Mario coordinated drinks services across eight O2 stores for the Samsung Galaxy S25 launch.
Managing several stores meant planning teams, equipment, stock and access around each location. That experience informs how we approach briefs involving multiple venues and delivery points.
Branded Drinks for Major UK & European Exhibitions
Turn Your Campaign Idea into a Branded Drink
Start with the moment you want to create.
Your drink could welcome customers into a store, reward visitors after a product demonstration, refresh guests at an exhibition stand or complete a launch gift bag.
We can discuss the flavour, colour, drink name and label design together, so the finished can fits the campaign. Your artwork might feature a product reveal, a personalised message or a QR code leading to a campaign page.
For an evening launch, you could offer a signature cocktail alongside a coordinated mocktail. For a daytime retail event, iced coffee or colourful matcha may suit the audience.
Share your creative brief, and we will recommend a drink and service format that fits the venue, guest numbers and schedule.
Delivered Cans or a Live Canning Experience?
Branded Cans Ready for Your Team to Distribute
Choose prepared cans when you want drinks delivered ahead of the event.
This format can work for retail sampling, exhibition giveaways, press packs, office launches and VIP gifting. We agree the drinks, quantities, artwork, delivery window and storage instructions before production.
Your team manages distribution at the venue, with a named contact available to receive the order.
Our branded canned drinks packages provide a starting point for planning quantities.
Drinks Filled and Sealed in Front of Guests
Make preparation part of the activation with live canning.
Guests can watch drinks being prepared, filled and sealed, then receive a finished branded can. It gives the drinks station an active role in the event and creates opportunities for conversation and photography.
We assess guest flow, drink complexity, staffing, available space and venue facilities before recommending the setup.
Live Service and Takeaway Cans in One Campaign
You may want live canning at a flagship launch and prepared cans for gift bags, staff packs or additional stores.
We can discuss a shared drink concept and visual identity across both formats, subject to the recipe, quantities and production schedule.
Choose Drinks That Fit Your Audience
Cocktails for Launches and Evening Events
For adult hospitality events, consider a signature cocktail developed around your campaign. Flavour, colour, naming and label design can work together to give the drink a clear connection to your brand.
Explore branded canned cocktails for the available options.
Mocktails for Daytime and Alcohol-Free Activations
Mocktails offer another way to introduce colour and flavour to your event. They can be served as the main drinks offering or alongside cocktails, with coordinated artwork across both.
Discover our branded canned mocktails.
Iced Coffee and Matcha for Retail Campaigns
For store openings, fashion events, beauty launches and daytime exhibitions, consider branded canned iced coffee or branded canned matcha.
Tell us about your audience and preferred flavours. We will discuss suitable recipes, ingredients and storage requirements before confirming your selection.
Iced Coffee and Matcha for Retail Campaigns
For store openings, fashion events, beauty launches and daytime exhibitions, consider branded canned iced coffee or branded canned matcha.
Tell us about your audience and preferred flavours. We will discuss suitable recipes, ingredients and storage requirements before confirming your selection.
Make the Can Part of Your Campaign
The label is where your drink meets your brand.
Use it to carry your logo, campaign artwork, product name or a message written specifically for the event. A QR code can connect the physical drink with your online content, competition or product information.
Depending on the brief, we can discuss logo stickers or a larger label design. Send your final artwork as a PDF, or share your logo and brand guidelines so we can confirm the required layout.
We provide a mockup or print proof for approval before printing. The design must also leave room for the product information required for the selected drink.
Production timing depends on the branding format, quantity and artwork approval. We confirm the deadline in your quotation so your team knows when the files need to be ready.

One Drinks Concept Across Multiple Locations
A campaign can share one visual identity while needing a different practical plan at each site.
For several stores or event locations, we discuss the quantities, delivery windows, receiving contacts and storage arrangements individually. For live service, we also review access, available space, facilities and expected demand at each venue.
Send the complete location list early, including any fixed launch times. This helps us assess how production, delivery and staffing can support the campaign.
If you need a staffed cocktail bar alongside your canned drinks, our wider team at Cocktails With Mario can discuss the complementary service.
Cans for Every Brand
UK Activations and International Event Briefs
Happy Sips welcomes enquiries for London launches and campaigns across the UK, including retail stores, offices, exhibition stands and hospitality venues.
Our wider team also has international live drinks experience. Barista Hire London delivered a three-day coffee and matcha activation for Saucony in Paris, demonstrating the planning involved in taking equipment and service teams overseas.

For a Happy Sips campaign outside the UK, share the country, venue, dates and proposed drinks format. We assess production, transport, storage and destination requirements separately before confirming what we can provide.
