As Women’s History Month comes to a close, we want to take a moment to show love to the women building, running, and redefining small businesses across the service industry. 💛
From bars and restaurants to brands, collectives, and creative spaces, these women are doing more than just opening doors. They are creating opportunities, shaping culture, and building communities that make this industry stronger every day.
Supporting women-owned businesses is not just a moment. It is something we can carry with us all year long. So whether it is where you grab a drink, who you collaborate with, or whose work you amplify, it all matters.
Drop your favorite women-owned businesses in the comments so we can keep showing up for them beyond this month. ✨

Happy World Cocktail Day 🍸💛
Big cheers to the bartenders, barbacks, servers, and hospitality folks who make this industry feel like home. The ones pulling off miracles during a slammed service, making people laugh after a long day, and somehow always knowing exactly what drink you need. This industry runs on connection just as much as cocktails, and we’re grateful for every person who brings their creativity, energy, and care behind the bar every day.
Whether you’re working a shift tonight or enjoying a well-earned drink with friends, this one’s for you. 🥂✨
Tag your favorite bartender or someone in hospitality you appreciate today 👇

Mother’s Day can hold a lot of different emotions. 💛
For some, it’s a day full of celebration and gratitude. For others, it can be complicated, heavy, bittersweet, or simply different than what people expect. Today, we’re sending love to all of it. To the moms, the chosen moms, the mother figures, the people missing someone, the people navigating difficult relationships, and everyone carrying mixed feelings today.
We also wanted to take a moment to celebrate a few of the incredible mothers within our own community who continue to show up with strength, care, creativity, and love every single day. 🌷✨
If there’s a mother or mother figure in your life you appreciate (maybe even your favorite “Bus Mom”), drop their name in the comments or show some love to the amazing moms in our community below. 💐

Mental Health Awareness isn’t just about checking in when things fall apart. It’s about reminding the people around us that they don’t always have to “hold it together” alone. 💛
To the strong friend. The one who always shows up. The one who says “I’m good” before anyone even asks. This is your reminder too.
And if someone came to mind while reading this, send it to them. Sometimes a simple “thinking of you” means more than we realize. ✨

Joy made history as the first woman to become a Master Blender in the spirits industry, breaking barriers at a time when leadership roles like hers were rarely accessible to women. Her journey is one of dedication, precision, and an undeniable passion for craft.
Through her work, she has helped shape the flavor, quality, and legacy of rum on a global scale.
But beyond the title, Joy represents what’s possible. She opened doors, set new standards, and continues to inspire generations of women across hospitality and spirits.
Today, we celebrate her achievements and extend that same recognition to all women in the service industry whose talent, resilience, and creativity continue to move this world forward every day.
Congratulations, Joy and thank you. 💛✨

🍀✨ Two celebrations, one incredible force behind it all ✨🍀
This St. Patrick’s Day and International Women’s Month, we’re raising a glass to the woman who brings both worlds together…(@livethelushlife ) Lindsey Johnson 💚
From her deep-rooted Irish heritage to the global community she’s helped build through Lush Life, Lindsey’s impact on the bartending world goes far beyond events and education… it’s about connection, opportunity, and showing up for the people behind the bar.
We especially see this impact with our @jamesonus Irish Whiskey Certificate program and our upcoming inaugural trip to 🇮🇪 IRELAND 🇮🇪 with some of our cohort friends!!
Join us as we continue to celebrate the women and communities shaping hospitality every day. 🍹✨

As we close out our Black History Month series, we just want to say thank you. 💛
Thank you for reading, sharing, saving, and celebrating the Black innovators, leaders, and creatives who have shaped our service industry in ways that often go unrecognized.

This final carousel is packed with “Did You Know?” moments because there’s always more to learn and more stories to tell.
