EVERY SIP HAS A STORY
EVERY SIP HAS A STORY
The Story
What do you do when there's an international pandemic and
your industry is put indefinitely on hold?
Drink.
THEN look for ways to be inspired.
(and maybe have another cocktail.)
​
​
​
​
As an actor, writer and mixologist that's what Jacey Powers sought to do when she created her series Feminist Cocktail Hour in March of 2020. Feminist Cocktail Hour pairs the stories of fierce, inspiring feminist icons with delightfully inventive craft cocktails.
​
As of February, Jacey has shared the tales (or should we say cockTales) of more than 60 great women in history through her acclaimed YouTube series. Additionally, Jacey has hosted dozens of events for feminists and cocktail enthusiasts across the country.

Series
Here are some of our most popular videos from the original series Feminist Cocktail Hour. They each combine humor, history and heart (as well as some delicious cocktail ingredients.) Unlike our private events they are often irreverent and political. Additionally, most episodes were researched, filmed and produced in under 24 hours throughout quarantine.
This has made the series a little unpredictable and a lot of fun.
To check out the full series, and stay in the loop for future episodes,
