Mountain Mixer Cocktail Contest: Highlighting Park City's Mixology Scene

After weeks of sipping, scoring, and behind-the-scenes judging, Park City’s most spirited showdown came to a head on August 21 as ten of the town’s top mixologists competed live in the 2025 Mountain Mixer Cocktail Contest. The road to the finals began in July, when a secret panel of judges visited bars across Park City to sample more than 20 original cocktails submitted by local bartenders. No scoresheets. No warning. Just quiet, anonymous sips. After weeks of deliberation, ten standout cocktails were selected for the live competition.

At the finale, the vibe was anything but quiet. Floor-to-ceiling windows framed the stage at Silver Lake Lodge, with a packed room of spectators, flashing cameras, twin bar stations, and DJ Dolph setting the tone. The drinks weren’t the only things with personality. From the nostalgic tea-inspired Nebbia by Katelyn Fraser to the tropical Filipino dessert homage in Charles Vincent Franco’s Ube Halo, the cocktails brought culture, history, and creativity to the forefront. Competitors delivered stories, spills, and style in equal measure, earning cheers from the crowd and feedback from the judges.

AJ Anderson of Handle took home top honors with his cocktail, “Melt”-a thoughtful combination of whiskey and rum built around a frozen tropical juice cube that slowly melted into the drink. As time passed, the cocktail evolved in flavor, making each sip more complex than the last. Beyond the drinks, Mountain Mixer highlighted the strength of Park City’s hospitality scene-the people behind the bar who not only craft great cocktails but create memorable experiences. Thank you to everyone who came out to sip, cheer, and vote.
