International Women’s Day Celebrations 2022
International Women’s Day may have been on the 8th of March but we have extended the celebrations throughout the whole month of March. To celebrate females in the industry, ITALICUS and SAVOIA have partnered with a number of bars and initiatives in a series of events globally.
UK Aperitifs Brand Ambassador Jessie Jarvis joined forces with fellow Pernod Ricard female colleagues to take over the World-renowned bar Lyaness for one night only on 13th March. As part of the Women of the World bar takeover, the ambassadors presented a special menu featuring cocktails with Ki No Bi Gin, Redbreast Irish Whiskey and ITALICUS Rosolio di Bergamotto.
Ellas Empowerment , founded by bartender Ginevra Castagnoli, is a new ambitious project born with the aim to create a community of women working in hospitality. The hub includes a series of events, mutual support, advice, and experience to fellow women in the industry. ITALICUS and SAVOIA have partnered with Ellas Empowerment to host two events for IWD, involving female bartenders from around the world. See below for an overview of past and upcoming events.
Taking place at Casa Bonay’s chic Libertines Cocktail Bar on 14th March we had the first event with an impressive lineup of female bartenders from both Barcelona and London. The masterclass and takeover involved Ginevra Castagnoli, Ellas Empowerment founder, Raiza Carrera, Head Bartender of Libertine’s, Giulia Cuccurullo, head bartender of London’s Artesian Bar, and Elena Urbani, bartender at London’s Bar with a Shape for a Name. The team produced a fantastic cocktail menu available on the night, with highlights including the Tempo Perso, made with ITALICUS, vodka, rhubarb cordial and champagne, and the Jungle Bird, made with SAVOIA, Dark Rum Blend, pineapple extract, lime and sugar.
Coming soon…The second collaborative event with Ellas Empowerment will be held at the Punch Room at the Edition hotel Barcelona on 24th March. This takeover will bring together and celebrate two international bartenders from reputable bars – Rachel Orange, a bartender from Manchester’s Schofield Bar, and Chloe Merz, founder of Germany’s Kiu Kiu. Happen to be in Barcelona on the 24th of March? Swing by for some tasty ITALICUS and SAVOIA cocktails made by these ladies.
Salute!
