It was the best of times, it was the worst of times as ladies from Kansas City, Paris of the Plains and St Louis, Rome of the West, engage in gladiator style battle.

Watch Amanda Hammond, Brooksey Cardwell, Jamie A. Kilgore, Jayne Pellegrino, Jenn Tosatto, Layla Linehan, Paige Rinne Unger, and Louisville's Susie Hoyt compete in bracketed round robin style competition. From quarter finals to semi finals to finals, competitors go head-to-head in instant elimination rounds.

It's like the March Madness of boobs and booze! In each round, the ladies make a round of cocktails tasted and evaluated by our amazing judges Bridget Albert, Catherine Neville, Charles Joly, and Doug Frost. Penalties are added to their score and the fastest lady wins - there is only one winner! Watch here to find out who won Miss Speed Rack St Louis.

Speed Rack is a national cocktail competition featuring the top female bartenders in cities across the country. It's the first competition of its kind to highlight the strong women in the cocktail industry. 100% of the proceeds from each of the events go directly to breast cancer education and prevention.

Speed Rack is all over the US and expanding globally!
