Speed Rack
WHERE SPEED MEETS SPIRIT...
Speed Rack, created in 2011 by Lynnette Marrero and Ivy Mix, has grown from a fast-paced cocktail competition into a powerful platform amplifying women+ talent across the bartending world. From regional rounds to national finals, it brings high energy, sharp skills, and long-overdue spotlight to rising voices in markets big and small.
For this box, you won’t be racing the clock or juggling tools under pressure—and any judges lurking in your kitchen are entirely your own doing. Instead, you’ll get a bright, summer-ready taste of what makes Speed Rack special, crafted by its two founders and a two-time competitor.
All anchored by a bottle of tequila blanco, of course.
Perfect Pairings
Dano’s Dangerous Blanco Tequila
Made from 100% agave and completely additive-free, it hails from Hacienda de Reyes, the second-oldest woman-owned hacienda in Tequila—and you can taste that legacy. The perfect match for this box.
Pueblo Viejo Blanco Tequila
Often overlooked outside of Mexico and the bar world, this tequila is a true standout. Bright, citrus-forward notes make it an easy fit for margaritas, palomas, and just about any cocktail you throw its way. A reliable, high-quality workhorse with incredible value.
Tapatio Blanco
Bold, bright, and wildly expressive, this tequila delivers classic highland character with crisp agave, pepper, and fresh citrus. It brings a lively kick to margaritas and spirit-forward cocktails alike, offering depth and vibrancy without overpowering the mix.
Behind the Cocktails: Ivy Mix
Sonámbula
Ivy Mix is co-owner of Whoopsie Daisy and Fiasco! in Brooklyn, New York; the co-founder of Speed Rack, the women+, high-speed bartending competition that raises money for breast cancer research; and the author of two award-winning cocktail books, Spirits of Latin America and A Quick Drink: The Speed Rack Guide to Winning Cocktails for Any Mood. She opened three-time James Beard–nominated Leyenda, Brooklyn’s agave-forward cocktail darling, in May 2015. It garnered many awards and was recognized as one of the best bars in America by Eater, GQ, Thrillist, and more before shutting its doors after ten years in 2025. Over the tenure of her career, Ivy has been recognized within the culinary and cocktail industry as one of the best bartenders in the country. She was named American Bartender of the Year at Tales of the Cocktail’s 2015 Spirited Awards and Mixologist of the Year by Wine Enthusiast in 2016. Her work with Lynnette Marrero garnered the pair the honor of two Tales of the Cocktail 2019 Spirited Awards: Philanthropy and World’s Best Bar Mentors.

How We Feel About This Speed Rack Box
Shaker & Spoon recently released their Speed Rack Box, and we couldn’t wait to dive in—especially since it features tequila, one of our favorites. To pair with the recipes, we picked up Dano’s Dangerous Blanco Tequila, one of the recommended bottles. Bright, crisp, and perfect for mixing, it proved to be a great match. The cocktails were not only fun to make but also absolutely delicious, and we’re already looking forward to shaking up the next round.
