As March is Women’s History Month, what better time to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of women in hospitality? Starting on Page 17, we’ve assembled profiles of several incredible and talented women from across the country who work tirelessly behind the bar and in other roles within our industry. We’re proud to call them colleagues and friends, and we hope you enjoy getting to know them. (And please follow us on Instagram – @BartenderMagazine – for more details about everyone we highlighted here.) As always, please also let us know if you have suggestions for who we should feature in future issues of BARTENDER® Magazine.

Speaking of celebrating female bartenders, congratulations to Tia Barret from Chicago who recently won the 2023 Don Julio StarBack competition! Learn more about this amazing event on Page 31, and see our profile of Tia on Page 16
