Brenda Riepenhoff is a cocktail consultant and creative force behind bar programs and brand activations that are as thoughtful as they are memorable. Her work spans cocktail menu development for bars and beverage brands, competitive cocktail stages, and collaborative pop-up concepts, all driven by an inventive, flavor-first approach and a deep understanding of how people actually drink. Whether it’s a rooftop bar, a speakeasy-inspired lounge, or a seasonal event, Brenda brings curiosity, precision, and genuine hospitality to every project, caring just as much about how a drink makes someone feel as how it looks on the menu.

At Cordial & Company, we design complete cocktail programs that reflect your space, your story, and your audience. From launching new concepts to refreshing seasonal offerings or increasing beverage sales, we work closely with you to build menus that are creative, intentional, and grounded in real-world operations. Every decision is made with purpose, balancing imagination with efficiency so your program can thrive behind the bar as well as on paper.

From dialing in flavor balance to refining presentation and service flow, we help your team feel empowered and proud of what they’re serving, ensuring every guest experience feels thoughtful, welcoming, and worth coming back for.
