GET TO KNOW OUR DOUBLE DUTCH TRAILBLAZERS -
INSPIRING WOMEN WHO ARE MIXING THINGS UP IN DRINKS!

Gone are the days when men held the monopoly across drinks.

Who run the world?!

In 2023, women are shining bright across hospitality – and we couldn’t be more excited to see it. While equality is far from won, we’re taking a moment to celebrate the extraordinary women who inspire us on a daily basis. From their incredible achievements to unfaltering motivation to push forward all things liquid, they’re killing it!

We believe that when women support women, it’s a SUPER powerful thing. Together we are unstoppable. Why just admire from afar when you can shout about someone special? We encourage everyone, everywhere to celebrate remarkable women. And we’re starting right now.

Everyone on this list is driving the drinks industry forward one sip at a time. Each woman has touched us in some way with their talent, determination, and for just being damn brilliant. So pour a drink and join us as we mark International Women’s Day with our Double Dutch Trailblazers!
