About 7 years ago a Chinese restaurant called the China Rose in Rhinecliff closed down, and with it went the best sake drink I've ever had -- their frozen sake margarita. I'm a decent bartender but I never recaptured it exactly at home (now I know the secret ingredient that frozen drinks really need to come together, but back then I just tried to get the recipe off them -- no dice). You should try one of these: sake, lime juice, triple sec, xantham, into the blender, serve in coupes.

You might have done a little research and highlighted a women bartender who was an important part of cocktail history. For example, "one of the best-known female bartenders in history, Ada Coleman worked at the American Bar at the Savoy Hotel as head bartender. Not only was she a shining light for other women who wanted to follow in her footsteps, but she was one of the first women who had her professional work recognized.
She created the Hanky Panky inspired by the actor Sir Charles Hawtrey who frequented the Savoy’s bar and is one of the first examples of Fernet Branca being used in a cocktail."
