TWO businesswomen have formed a partnership to market their products in a unique combination.

Adrienn Cushing, who imports hand-made bottles from Hungary, and Diana Jones, who bottles liqueurs, found their respective businesses perfectly complemented each other.

The jewel-like deep red, yellow and amber liqueurs give life to tall bottles containing glass flowers, fruit or figurines.

Adrienn, who is Hungarian, started her Worcester-based company Adhok in June after a contact in Hungary offered her the sole UK dealership of goods from his factory.

The intricate designs are already well-established in Italy, France, Switzerland, the USA and Japan, but have not been available before in the UK.

Some are bottles within a bottle, ideal for oil and vinegar. Others are shaped like a stag, a grouse or a globe etched with a map of the world, and some have figurines inside them.

"Red grapes look wonderful shining through a yellow liqueur, while a rearing stag, a grouse or a man with a gun make perfect partners for ginger and whisky," said Diana, who runs Borderlands Liqueurs, based in Shobdon, Herefordshire.

Diana's liqueurs include blackcurrant and rum, cherry vodka, ginger and whisky, apricot brandy and sloe gin.

After selling their products individually at craft shows and game fairs, the two got together after Diana saw Adrienn's leaflet at an event at the Three Counties Show-ground, Malvern.

She believes they have found a niche market for gifts that are beautiful, unusual and a little quirky.

"I think we will go a long way together. I can see the potential to sell to food stores, delicatessens, hamper companies and as corporate gifts or trophies," she said.

Adrienn said: "The glassware is functional and decorative, made from high quality glass that is both heat and acid-resistant.

"With the beautiful colours of the liqueurs inside, it looks absolutely tremendous."
