CREATIVE COCKTAIL RECIPES FROM UTAH’S LARGEST INDEPENDENT DISTILLERY, OGDEN’S OWN
Utah’s largest independent distillery, Ogden’s Own, produces an award-winning line of gins, whiskeys, and vodkas. The lines are each uniquely branded, sometimes with tongue-in-cheek references to some aspects of Utah’s history. There’s Five Wives Vodka, for starters—and a companion Five Husbands one, too. Other products highlight lesser-known (and less sarcastic) aspects of the state’s history, like Madam Pattrini Gin and Porter’s Whiskeys.

Visitors to Ogden should check out the distillery’s Side Bar, the onsite craft cocktail destination. The unique menu is divided into four categories (Sweet & Fruity, Sour & Tart, Spicy, and Spirit Forward) that will impress without pretention.
Here are a few recent creations straight from the menu:
• 1.5 oz Porters Peanut Butter Whiskey • 0.5 oz Five Wives Heavenly Vodka • 1 oz Chocolate Liqueur • 2 oz Heavy Cream
Mix first three ingredients in a shaker with ice. Pour into a coupe glass filled with some ice cubes. Float heavy cream. Add Tagalong (float on top of heavy cream and sitting atop ice cubes).
• 1 oz Five Wives Heavenly Vodka • 1 oz Peppermint Schnapps • 0. 5 oz Chocolate Liqueur • 1 oz Heavy Cream
Shake first 3 ingredients in shaker with ice. Paint inside of Martini glass with chocolate syrup (coat fully or stripes or any design). Pour ingredients into Martini glass adding Heavy Cream on top. Add thin mint (either crumble, or skewer).
(Inspired by the classic Bee’s Knees cocktail)
• 1.5 oz Madam Pattirini Gin • 1.5 oz cold brew Chai Tea • 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice • 1.5 oz honey syrup • 0.5 oz ginger syrup
Add all ingredients into shaker. Add crushed ice in drinking vessel, add all ingredients and two sustainable “hay” or “pasta” straws. Garnish with fortune cookie on side.
