The Contest
Speed Rack is a competition created for and by female bartenders to promote female bartenders. And, while we're at it, we're going to raise some money to fight breast cancer. All proceeds from the event will go to breast cancer education, prevention and research.
Speed Rack is a national cocktail competition that features top female bartenders in key cocktail markets and puts them head to head in round robin style timed and judged challenges. It is the first competition to highlight the up and coming generation of strong women in the spirits industry. Using sponsors' products, participating bartenders are required to make a round of cocktails selected at random from a list of 50 accepted industry standard recipes.
Each round is a head-to-head battle with four drinks selected by our esteemed panel of industry judges. The two competitors make the drinks as quickly as possible. The judges evaluate each drink based on accuracy, taste and presentation and add time penalties for any mistakes. Each competitor's original time is recorded and then the time penalties are added to reach a final score.
The most skilled and swiftest bartender - the one with the lowest score - moves to the next round until our bracket is down to two competitors.
The Finals will be in New York City on Thursday, May 10, 2012.
