And the blue ribbon for best new cocktail capturing baked good greatness goes to . . . two-time Speed Rack competitor Caer Maiko!
Her Cherry Pie Old Fashioned 🍒🥧 represents an amazing all-American makeover for tequila blanco, one that swirls the spirit and creole bitters with a dark cherry syrup that’s sweet, tangy, and touched with the baking spices cinnamon and clove.

It took no grand deal with the devil for Speed Rack co-founder Lynnette Marrero to dream up this tall and refreshing tequila cooler 🫐
The jammy azure gems would be enough on their own to color and flavor the tequila and ginger beer body of 😈 Diablo en Verano ☀️ but she goes further with the addition of black peppercorn, cardamom, and a touch of acid to make those blues go boom!

Speed Rack co-founder Ivy Mix has coaxed out of bed her signature statement cocktail Sonámbula (“sleepwalker”), which represents her passion for pan-Latin spirits and flavors. Jalapeño infusions are all the rage online these days, but Ivy’s been working with that technique since TikTok was just the sound a clock makes.
A four-minute soak in tequila is all the peppery backbone you’ll need to energize the graceful flavors of chamomile 🌼 and lemon 🍋 plus creole and mole bitters in this sour that long captured the hearts of the city that sometimes sleeps (on two feet)! It’s just one of the delicious drinks found in the Speed Rack team’s book A Quick Drink: The Speed Rack Guide to Winning Cocktails!

While it may be an unlucky number to some, the thirteenth season of Speed Rack, the cocktail competition with a charitable heart of gold (and pink!)—was as flashy, splashy, and high-octane as ever this year! 🩷✨
For the Speed Rack: Taking on Tequila Box, you will not be timed nor expected to shake with one hand and dash with the other—and there will be no eyebrow-raised judges inspecting your every move.
What we can guarantee is a perfect-for-summer taste of the spirit of the series, straight from creators Lynnette Marrero and Ivy Mix and two-time competitor Caer Maiko. With a hearty bottle of tequila blanco, of course!
