Whistler head bartender Marina Holter is competing in the Speed Rack National Finals on May 7th. Speed Rack features the nation’s top female bartenders competing head-to-head in round robin-style, timed and judged challenges. To prepare for the finals, Marina is hosting a weekly, Monday night happy hour from 6-8pm where visitors can challenge her to prepare cocktails as quickly and precisely as possible. There are over seventy cocktails to choose from, plus Dealer’s Choice. A round of four cocktails costs $28 and visitors will receive scorecards to time and judge Marina’s performance.
