Sorry kids, no cocktail recipe today, because I want to make sure you get your tickets to the upcoming Speed Rack Finals! What is Speed Rack, you may ask? Well, it's a national competition created by and for female bartenders to promote female bartenders and to raise money for breast cancer research. The first round was held in New York (here's my recap), and subsequent rounds were held in nine other cities. The ten regional winners will compete along with six wildcard competitors on May 10th at 5 pm at the Prince George Ballroom. Tickets are $40 and include cocktails, punch, beer, and snacks, and best of all, proceeds benefit breast cancer research. I guarantee it'll be a raucous and fun evening, as bartenders from across the country will be in town for the Manhattan Cocktail Classic and they'll be cheering for their local favorites. Plus, @daisy17 and I are bartending again.

Women & Whisky
What's not to like? In honor of International Women's Day, my latest tweetup focuses on Women & Whisky. Joined again by LUPEC NYC (Ladies United for the Preservation of Endangered Cocktails), Compass Box, and Astor Center, we've put together quite an event.
$5 of each ticket will be donated to Dress for Success, which promotes the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and career development tools. Also, we've got 10 LUPEC ladies from the likes of Rye House, Pegu Club, Momofuku, Raines Law Room, Hearth, Bar Celona, Freeman's, Drinks at 6, and Hush Cocktails behind the stick, creating winter warmer cocktails with Compass Box whiskys.Hope to see you at Astor Center next Monday 3/8 on International Women's Day — men and women are welcome — and be sure to buy your ticket in advance!
