Rolling Fog Cocktail

February 4, 2022 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

My wife and I recently spent the better part of a sunny afternoon enjoying excellent food, drink, and service at the newly opened Vintage Room at the St. Regis Deer Valley. The Vintage Room is quickly becoming one of Park City’s most sought-after destinations - it’s a hoppin’, fun spot, for sure.  The Vintage Room is a heated 1,600 square foot tent-like structure with … [Read more...]

Log Haven Summer Cocktails

June 10, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

I can’t really imagine a better place to sip a refreshing cocktail than out on the sun-drenched patio at Log Haven restaurant in Millcreek Canyon, surrounded by streams, waterfalls, geese, and stunning mountain views. In conjunction with Beehive Distilling’s Beehive Organic Vodka Cocktail Contest, Log Haven’s bartender Brenda Gomez created a special cocktail - … [Read more...]

March 11, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

  Who needs green beer on St. Paddy’s Day when you could indulge in something truly delicious and memorable like Baileys Irish Floats? Here is a recipe for these wonderful libations - sort of dessert-meets-cocktail - that I first found at Delish.com. This recipe makes 2 Baileys Irish Floats. Ingredients: 6 scoops vanilla ice cream 2 cups Guinness stout (or … [Read more...]

Moscow Mule at Stoneground

January 14, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Whether enjoyed in the crisp chill of winter or as a refreshing summertime libation, the Moscow Mule has become a favorite among American cocktail lovers. However, the popular cocktail doesn’t seem to have originated in Russia.  Boozy historians speculate that the Moscow Mule was created, pre-Cold War, in the good ol’ USA sometime in the 1940s. At that time, vodka wasn’t … [Read more...]

A Perfect Halloween Cocktail: Liquid Web Cocktail

October 30, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

  If you’re looking for a fun and delicious cocktail to serve to your favorite spooks on Halloween, I recommend the Liquid Web Cocktail, which I first came across on the CountryLiving website. It’s not exactly calorie free, but Halloween is a time for us to indulge in sweet things, right? Despite its sweetness, the Liquid Web is actually pretty light on the palate. … [Read more...]

Alpine Distilling Swaner Dreams Cocktail

October 23, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

During a recent visit to Park City’s Alpine Distilling and a visit with owners Rob and Sara Sergent, I came away a huge fan of their Preserve Liqueur. It’s so delicious - like happiness in a glass.  Named for the Swaner Nature Preserve in Park City - which Alpine Distilling supports with a portion of all proceeds of Preserve Liqueur sold - Preserve is a light, not cloying … [Read more...]

Bartender Box for Creating World-Class Cocktails at Home

July 23, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

The local bartending service Top Shelf has created a nifty new product called the Bartender’s Box that provides all the ingredients (except liquor) to allow folks like me to create world-class cocktails at home. It’s a great concept, especially during a pandemic when bars are closed.  Each Bartender’s Box is delivered to your door (pickup is also available with a 10% … [Read more...]

French 75 with Cognac, A Must Try Cocktail at Firewood in Park City

March 6, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

  During a delightful dinner recently at Park City’s Firewood restaurant, beverage expert Greg Ceccarelli suggested a cocktail to kick the evening off: the French 75. However, he had a trick up his sleeve. This French 75 was made using cognac, where gin is the more typical spirit of choice for the cocktail. I learned that, apparently, there is debate and some … [Read more...]

Seabird Bar Pain Killer Cocktail

January 10, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

I really love the feel of cozy, intimate, neighborhood bars like Water Witch, for example. You know, bars that don’t have wall-to-wall TV screens, but prefer to provide entertainment via old-fashioned vinyl. One such bar is the recently opened Seabird at The Gateway, which is technically called Seabird Bar & Vinyl Room. It’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it bar that probably … [Read more...]
