In celebration of National Women's Equality Day and the centennial of women's right to vote, Barter & Shake Creative Hospitality is introducing the All Women Take-Out Cocktail Initiative. The initiative is centered on highlighting seven local Arizona female bartenders and their signature cocktails and people can show their support by purchasing the pre-made bottled cocktails.
As part of the initiative, each female bartender worked with a nationally awarded and accoladed female mixologist during a month-long mentorship program. On a weekly basis starting mid-September, there will be 50 limited-time bottled cocktail kits shared and Barter & Shake will be donating 100% of profits of the $25 kits to the non-profit organization Another Round, Another Rally.
