This isn’t the first time you’ve heard us chatting about our awesome friends over at Speed Rack. The competing ladies stir up some great booze, but they also do it for a good cause;They’ve raised over 250,000 dollars globally for breast cancer research! Now, the ladies are at it again. On Saturday,February 8th,2015 Speed Rack will host another friendly competition in Seattle, Washington between 2:00-6:00 P.M.
Promoting female bartenders already has them on our good side, but now they’re wooing us with these delicious, old favorites that have a new Superbowl spin. You can make at home this Superbowl Sunday OR you can make them on a Fantastic Friday ( so…right now.)
