A Toast to Women's History Month: Celebrating Women of Color with Flavor and Finesse


As we bid farewell to another inspiring Women's History Month, Color Vision had the distinct pleasure of bringing together the remarkable women within our vibrant community for an intimate soirée at the enchanting Gunther & Co. With hearts brimming with pride and glasses clinking in celebration, we raised a toast to the resilience, brilliance, and boundless potential of women of color.

At the heart of our gathering were shared stories of triumph and tribulation, woven into the fabric of our collective journey. As the evening unfolded, guests immersed themselves in candid conversations, delving into the delicate art of balance, navigating the trials of the workplace, and forging ahead with unwavering confidence and determination.

Of course, no celebration is complete without a touch of culinary magic and libations to ignite the senses. Thanks to the generous partnership with Johnnie Walker, our guests were treated to an exquisite selection of cocktails, each one crafted with precision and passion, mirroring the diverse flavors and spirits of our community.

Among the favorites of the evening were the tantalizing Johnnie & Elderflower, a delightful fusion of elderflower cordial, soda water, and the rich, smoky notes of JW Black Label, garnished with a twist of lemon peel. This refreshing concoction perfectly encapsulated the essence of spring, with its floral undertones and crisp finish.

For those with a penchant for zest and vibrancy, the Johnnie & Lemon proved to be an instant hit. With the perfect balance of tangy lemonade and the velvety smoothness of JW Black Label, every sip was a symphony of citrusy bliss, topped off with a sunny garnish of lemon peel.

Meanwhile, the Gold Rush captivated the palate with its harmonious blend of JW Black Label, honey syrup, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. This golden elixir struck a chord with those seeking a medley of sweet and sharp flavors, served over ice in a sleek rocks glass, adorned with a twist of lemon peel.

Last but certainly not least, the Spiced Citrus Bramble added a dash of intrigue and sophistication to the evening's festivities. Infused with the warmth of blackberries, lemon juice, and a hint of spice, courtesy of blackberry liqueur, this mesmerizing libation transported our guests on a journey of flavor and discovery, culminating in a garnish of blackberry and lemon, a true feast for the senses.

As glasses clinked and laughter filled the air, it was evident that this evening was more than just a celebration; it was a testament to the power of solidarity, sisterhood, and the unwavering spirit of women of color. With each sip and every shared moment, we reaffirmed our commitment to fostering a community where all women can thrive, unapologetically and authentically.

As we embark on the journey ahead, let us carry forth the lessons learned, the connections forged, and the memories cherished. Together, we will continue to champion diversity, equity, and inclusion in all facets of our lives, blazing a trail of empowerment and enlightenment for generations to come.

Here's to the phenomenal women who grace our lives with their brilliance, resilience, and unyielding grace. May we continue to lift each other up, inspire greatness, and change the world, one sip at a time.

Cheers to Women's History Month, and to the limitless possibilities that lie ahead!
