BARTENDER Magazine’s 27 for 27: Jasmyne Colín

Jasmyne Colín is a proud Chicana and Colorado native who serves as lead bartender and social media manager at a high-volume French dip and cocktail joint in Denver. Her cocktails draw on her culture and the flavors she grew up with, creating a personal connection between the drink and the guest. She has made her mark on the competition scene as a 2026 Speed Rack Denver regional runner-up and national finalist, alongside additional cocktail competition wins. With a bachelor’s degree in Political Science and Ethnic Studies, focused on Chicana/o Studies, Jasmyne also brings a strong commitment to social advocacy to her work. She approaches guest shifts, pop-ups and events intentionally, looking for ways to center culture and support nonprofit organizations or meaningful causes. For Jasmyne, bars are important community gathering places with an opportunity to make positive change. Her work shows how hospitality can extend beyond the people seated directly across the bar. Jasmyne also earned back-to-back wins in a local cocktail competition in 2025 and 2026 and first place in another competition in 2026. She sees her hospitality work and her community involvement as connected, with each event offering a chance to broaden who feels represented in the industry.
