My “Sip o’ the Week” for this week is a combination of sip and bite. About a week ago, chocolate connoisseurs and gin lovers united to savor the limited release of Ritual Chocolate’s Alpine Gin Juniper Lavender Chocolate Bar. A celebration of this local partnership, including a joyful tasting experience for guests, was held at the Park City Social Aid & Pleasure Club on Saturday, April 13.

“We are so excited to offer our latest release of our Alpine Gin Juniper Lavender Chocolate Bar,” says Ritual Chocolate Co-Founder Anna Seear. “Our high-quality cacao, paired with the unique flavor profile of Alpine Distilling’s gin, offers a refreshing, elevated chocolate experience, and we can’t wait to share this special collaboration with our enthusiastic patrons.”

The limited-edition chocolate bar is made from Ritual Chocolate’s Mid Mountain Blend of cacao, juniper berries, lavender, and Alpine Distilling’s award-winning barrel-aged gin. Ingredients were aged together for six months in a gin barrel to bring out every bit of delicate botanical notes, resulting in a sophisticated flavor profile of juniper, lavender, cardamom, and orange peel. The Alpine Gin Juniper Lavender Chocolate Bar is now available from Ritual Chocolate and wherever Ritual Chocolate is sold.

When Main Street Burned: The Aftermath of the Salt Lake City Fire That Hit Downtown Bars

Fire doesn’t respect zoning, property lines, or even the most popular block on Main Street. On the evening of Monday, August 11, 2025, a blaze that began around 8:40 p.m. on Main Street. It moved quickly through a row of aging, interconnected buildings that had become the heart and soul of Salt Lake City’s fledgling bar district. By the time firefighters brought it under control, multiple businesses were damaged, dozens of workers were displaced, and one of the city’s most active stretches went dark.

The fire started at London Bell and spread into neighboring structures, severely damaging Whiskey Street. White Horse never caught fire, but smoke, water, and a partial roof collapse caused extensive interior damage, forcing a full rebuild. Other nearby businesses were affected as well, including some that had helped turn this part of Main Street into one of its most active and economically stable stretches.
