In honor of October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Twisted Alchemy–– a female-led company creating Cold-Pressed Juices for Craft Cocktails–– is raising funds for breast cancer research by donating sales from their Pink Posse Cocktail Kit to Speed Rack, an all-womxn+ high-speed bartending competition designed to highlight up-and-coming talent in the cocktail industry and give back to those impacted by breast cancer. The contest is open to all who identify as womxn/femmes.
Support Breast Cancer Research with Twisted Alchemy
Since 2011, Speed Rack has raised over $1.25 million for breast cancer research, and Twisted Alchemy is a longtime sponsor of the organization. During the various rounds of the high-speed bartending competition, contestants use juices donated by Twisted Alchemy (view video HERE).
The Pink Posse cocktail is a refreshing bright pink cocktail made with Twisted Achemy’s cold-pressed grapefruit and blood orange juices. It was created by mixologist and photographer Risa James. For anyone who prefers not to imbibe, the Pink Posse can also be enjoyed sans alcohol. Although the original recipe is written with vodka, it can also be made with blanco tequila (we recommend LALO), or a light and herbaceous gin (we recommend ROKU), or even a joven mezcal (we recommend Apaluz).
