“I feel so fortunate to have transitioned from ballet to bartending and to have found such a similar passion. It’s a combination I never would have expected, but somehow the two mirror each other so well. Winning Speed Rack still feels surreal and something I’m incredibly proud of. At the end of the day, it isn’t about the win though, it’s about the community: the women I’ve met, the confidence I’ve built, and the growth and hard work that have pushed me to go further than I thought possible. The community behind Speed Rack is the real win. I now have a powerful circle of women rooting for me and for each other. I’m very proud to represent Bespoke and to bring this title back to my hometown, where cocktails haven’t had a huge spotlight, and women have never been the success story.” ~ Rebekah Frazier
