It is a common complaint from newcomers: “You can’t get a drink in Utah.” You’ve said it. You’ve heard it. And we say: This statement is fiction. Bartenders from 23 of Utah’s best bars are here with the facts.
We at Salt Lake magazine understand. A cocktail is a preprandial activity. It should be stiff and assertive. It’s not something you drink all night. A cocktail should pack a punch. And. Yes. A cocktail should be bracing.
As you will see, you can have a glass of something you’ve never tasted in a way you’ve never tasted it. A cocktail, as it’s meant to be, should be the beginning of an adventure.
Our bartenders will show you to the trailhead.
And away we go!
