Joanna Carpenter joins Bartender Spirits Awards judging panel

17/03/2021 We’re excited to announce Joanna Carpenter’s addition to our 2021 judging panel for the Bartender Spirits Awards.

A multi-faceted bartending professional Joanna Carpenter (She/Her) is a mixologist, consultant, and educator based in New York City. She has spoken about race and gender equity at Tales of the Cocktail, Bar Convent Brooklyn, Healthy Pour, and others. Over the course of 17 years in the industry, she has worked on all sides of the bar, developed programming with globally recognized venues and brands. 

She is the co-founder of grassroots language organization 86 the Barrier, and her work and advocacy have been featured in SevenFiftyDaily, NPR, and The New York Times, among others.

When not hanging out behind the bar, she is seen on stage. She says, “I want to work for the little half Asian girls gazing at a screen or sitting in a theatre, looking to see themselves. I want to tell superhero stories, risky stories, painful stories, loving stories. I believe rules are made to be broken, so long as we break them with intention and purpose.”

“I search for work that has me dig deep into the crevasses of a character’s spirit so I can splash around in their flaws, fears, wins, and losses.”
