PARK CITY, Utah — Park City bartenders and mixologists are set to showcase their most creative cocktails and mocktails for this year’s Park City Area Restaurant Association (PCARA) Savor the Cocktail contest. Voting began on July 1 and runs through Wednesday, July 31, at parkcityrestaurants.com.

“When cocktail and mocktail lovers come out and try the stellar lineup of beverages in the Savor the Cocktail contest, they’re not only supporting members of our restaurant community but also the local Summit County purveyors whose ingredients make these drinks so exceptional,” said PCARA executive director Ginger Wicks. “It is because of these strong local partnerships that our dining community is able to create fresh, uniquely-Utah flavor profiles for locals and visitors to enjoy. Let the (friendly) competition begin!”

The contest features 19 bars and restaurants. The bartender or mixologist with the winning cocktail and mocktail will each earn a $500 cash prize, city-wide recognition, and a feature in a marketing campaign for the PCARA’s fall “Dine About” event.

Voting is limited to one vote per email address per day, and participants must be 21 or older.
