She’s feminine and alluring. She commands an air of mystère. She walks with her back turned, inviting you to follow her. She’s timeless and ageless. She’s the one you want to be, or the one you want to follow. And she will be arriving in Sydney soon.
Meet Miss Massenez, a new marketing concept that brings an innovative image to the French liqueur company by creating a small universe based around her mystique.
Massenez range
During their visit to Sydney, Bernard Baud, Managing Director and Elodie Naslin, Marketing Director, introduced the marketing concept based on the mysterious female image at Brasserie Ananas.
Distillerie G. E. Massenez was founded in 1870 in Alsace when it began producing fruit-based eaux de vie and liqueurs. Massenez was the first to distill raspberry eau de vie and is now renowned worldwide for its Poire William product which constitutes 70% of its sales. The production remains artisanal to this day with distillation methods a guarded secret.
Bernard Baud, Managing Director
The concept is to create a small Miss Massenez universe, a world of cocktails specifically designed by mixologists in France using one or two product with quality juice and ingredients.
Nine cities to date have had a special cocktail named after her. When you drink it, you focus on the atmosphere of the drink, the location and the romance of mind travel. It’s all about what the cocktail represents rather than the individual ingredients.
L-R: Miss All In (Vegas), Miss Kowloon
Hailing from Vegas, Miss All In cocktail is a mix of Eau de Vie Poire William Massenez with Creme de Mure (blackberry), shaken and topped with cranberry juice. Miss Kowloon is a refreshing mix of muddled lime with Creme de Gingembre (ginger).
To launch the event in Paris earlier in the year, five young women were chosen to live the Miss Massenez life over a couple of days. They were given clues to follow which included a weekend of pampering and indulgence as they followed her all over Paris.

Sydney is set to have its turn soon when the Massenez team returns in February to launch a public event… running after Miss Massenez.
