About this episode

This episode features Lynnette Marrero discussing the Speed Rack bartending competition and its charitable impact.

There are a lot of cocktail competitions out there, but there isn’t one quite like Speed Rack. Speed Rack is the US-based high-speed bartending competition designed to highlight women and femme-identifying people in the bar industry, all the while raising money for charities supporting breast cancer research — and putting on one big party at the same time. On this episode, which we recorded back in August, we’re talking to Lynnette Marrero, who is the co founder of Speed Rack along with Ivy Mix, because the Speed Rack Australia final is happening in just a couple weeks’ time, Sunday the 19th of August in Sydney at Oxford Art Factory. You can get tickets to watch what really is the most exciting bartending test out there — hit the link in the notes and on the story on boothby.com.au to get yours, all proceeds go towards breast cancer charities. Which is clearly a great thing — we’ll see you there. TICKETS https://events.humanitix.com/speed-rack-finals-2025-sydney?ref=boothby.com.au
