Jade Devine pleaded not guilty during an appearance at Carlisle Crown Court.
The 32-year-old of Andersons Court, Flimby, was bailed and a trial date was set for next April.
She denied both dangerous driving charges, and also two alternative charges of causing death by driving the vehicle carelessly and while at almost twice the legal drink-drive limit.
