Visit SLmag.com for more info about the Farm to Table Cocktail Contest.
During the month of September, 20 restaurants and bars in Salt Lake City will be serving original cocktails that include at least two farm-fresh seasonal ingredients. (Beets! Berries! Peppers! Tomatoes! Kale! Who knows what a creative bartender will decide put in his blender, infuse in his vodka or use as a garnish?) Your job is to taste as many cocktails as you can, rate them and vote on your favorites via your phone or on the Salt Lake magazine website slmag.com The winner will be announced at a Cocktail Party the first week in October (open to the public with a tax-deductible ticket). Bartenders will serve tastes of their nominated cocktails. The contest winner receives an engraved martini glass, acclamation in Salt Lake magazine and everlasting glory. Here are this year’s contestants. Bodega and The Rest, 311 S. Main, SLC, 801-532-4042 Trio, 680 S. 900 East, SLC, 801-533-8746 Undercurrent, 279 S. 300 East, SLC, 801-574-2556
