Two readers love this post.
Speed Rack St Louis was our first stop in 2013 and what a way to begin. Girls from Kansas City, St Louis and Louisville brought the power. Check out a teaser from the day here and get ready to see the rounds one by one. Looking forward to Chicago on March 24th to end our Season 2 of Speed Rack. BE THERE.
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.
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.
