Mixologists in our mountain town are mulling, blending, shaking, and artfully conjuring up tasty concoctions in a quest to outdo one another in the annual Park City Area Restaurants Association Summer Cocktail Contest. If you needed an excuse to mosey into a local watering hole or restaurant, now you have one (well, if you're at least 21 years old). And should you discovery a glass full of deliciousness, vote online at parkcityrestaurants.com. The contest runs through July 31.
