PARK CITY, Utah. – The Park City Area Restaurant Association begins its annual Savor the Cocktail contest in which local restaurants showcase a select custom cocktail crafted by their own bartenders. The contest runs from June 1 to August 31.

Locals and visitors are encouraged to try these unique cocktails at participating restaurants and vote online for their favorite.

The peoples’ choice winner will be rewarded a $500 cash prize and have the opportunity to create an original Bartender’s Box (an at-home cocktail kit presented by Top Shelf).
