Watch the country’s top female bartenders as they compete for industry glory and breast cancer research. Stirring with one hand, shaking with another, these leading ladies of bartending serve up the ultimate spectator sport as they go head-to-head in a speed-bartending competition that ultimately raises money for an important cause.
Speed Rack is a competition created by and for female bartenders. It is a national cocktail competition featuring top female bartenders in key cocktail markets. It is the first competition to highlight the up and coming generation of strong women in the spirits industry.
In each city, using sponsors’ products, participating bartenders are required to make a round of cocktails selected at random culled from a list of 50 industry-standard recipes. In front of a panel of food and beverage luminaries, the ladies go head to head in round robin style instant elimination rounds.
The judges request and evaluate each drink based on accuracy, taste and presentation. After the surviving time and judging penalties, the swiftest and most skilled women under pressure move forward to the next round until our bracket is down to two. There is only one winner. She is crowned Miss Speed Rack.
