Craft has a funny habit of ignoring the boxes people try to put it in. Talent shows up where it wants. This past Tuesday it showed up in a room full of formidable women.
Honored to hear the story of Nancy Duarte—master distiller of Ron Santa Teresa—sharing her path in a craft long dominated by men. Power, grace, and a lot of quiet determination in that journey.
Thank you for the invitation and for letting me bring Alma de Hacienda, our mini Basque cheesecake inspired by the aromas of the Hacienda and finished with a whisper of Santa Teresa 1796 Rum.
Grateful to share a room with women who shine in their craft—from brilliant cocktail makers to passionate brand ambassadors.
Feliz Día Internacional de la Mujer.
Women who create. Women who lead. Women who inspire. ✨ from .visuals
Leading with craft and inspiration 🔥
In honor of Women’s Month, Nancy Duarte,
master distiller of Santa Teresa 1796, traveled
all the way from Venezuela for a special gathering.
An afternoon of beautiful female energy, cocktails
by the team, and a custom rum-infused Basque cheesecake by
Thanks to the amazing hostsmixes
