Cocktails for a Cause: Shake it for Ada – San Francisco

FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA’S GREAT WOMEN SPIRITS HONORS INSPIRING WOMEN PAST AND PRESENT TO PROMOTE STEM EDUCATION ON ADA LOVELACE DAY

Restaurants, bars and talented bartenders across the United States will celebrate the world’s first computer programmer through Cocktails for a Cause: Shake it for Ada to raise money for not-for-profit organization AnnieCannons.

The Family Coppola and its award-winning Great Women Spirits collection of California-crafted, classically styled spirits launch a collaboration to celebrate achievement, creativity and innovation when the world remembers the British mathematician who developed the first computer program in 1842. Ada Lovelace Day on October 8 is an international celebration of women’s leadership and achievements in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and kicks off the Great Women Spirits “Cocktails for a Cause: Shake it for Ada” initiative. This new campaign rallies bars and restaurants across the U.S. together by gifted bartenders who have developed custom Great Women Spirits Ada Lovelace Gin cocktails in honor of Ada Lovelace’s achievements along with other historical women they are inspired by.

Great Women Spirits Ada Lovelace Gin cocktails will be sold in select markets nationwide along with commemorative shakers and T-shirts from October 15 through November 15, 2019 to benefit the international not-for-profit organization AnnieCannons, with a focus on STEM education programs to support, educate and place victims of human trafficking into profitable and lasting careers.

The Family Coppola properties are also providing an opportunity for people to get involved through the Francis Ford Coppola Winery’s restaurant RUSTIC: Francis’s Favorites and San Francisco’s Café Zoetrope. During the promotional period, guests can order from the Cocktails for a Cause: Shake it for Ada menu and purchase specialty cocktail shakers and T-shirts with proceeds going to AnnieCannons.
