Deer Valley Serves Up New R & R Sour For Mountain Mixer Cocktail Contest
DEER VALLEY RESORT; PARK CITY, UTAH (July 24, 2025) – Competition is stiff, and so are the drinks in this summer’s Mountain Mixer Cocktail Contest, hosted by the Park City Area Restaurant Association (PCARA). Deer Valley Resort invites guests to The Brass Tag this month to try their new R & R Sour, which is vying for top honors in this year’s contest.
“We are so proud to showcase the incredible talent of Deer Valley Mixologist Megs Miller in this year’s Mountain Mixer Cocktail Contest,” said Deer Valley Resort Director of Beverage Josh Hockman. “We’re excited for guests to experience the refreshing R & R Sour throughout the month of July, and we look forward to hosting the culminating live competition later this summer.”
The R & R Sour, crafted by Mixologist Megs Miller, features High West bourbon, fresh raspberry and lemon, egg whites, house made rosemary syrup, orange bitters, and hickory smoke. The summer sipper is available now at The Brass Tag in The Lodges at Deer Valley through July 31, 2025. The fine Italian restaurant is open Thursday through Sunday, from 5 to 9 p.m. where up to two kids under 12 dine free per table throughout the summer.
A panel of secret judges will visit the participating venues of the Mountain Mixer Cocktail Contest throughout July and will select 10 finalists. Those finalists will move on to a live, in-person competition which will be hosted at Deer Valley on August 21, 2025. Mixologists will showcase their creativity, technique, and personal flair, while a panel of judges and a live audience will help crown the ultimate winner. Additional event and ticket information will be announced soon.

THE DEER VALLEY DIFFERENCE
Deer Valley Resort, located in Park City, Utah, set the standard for luxury in skiing by offering the service and hospitality of a five-star hotel. The ski-only resort is now delivering the largest expansion in ski resort history for the 2025/26 season. This winter, Deer Valley unveils seven new chairlifts, including the East Village Express—a 10-passenger gondola connecting the new Deer Valley East Village to Park Peak. Since December 2024, Deer Valley has added 10 new lifts, doubling its skiable terrain and redefining the mountain experience. This transformation is part of Expanded Excellence, a resort-wide initiative that includes a new portal at Deer Valley East Village with 1,200 day-skier parking spaces, the reimagining of Snow Park base area, and enhancements to on-mountain infrastructure. The resort now features 31 chairlifts, 4,300 skiable acres, seven bowls, and benefits from 300 inches of average annual snowfall. Deer Valley limits daily lift ticket sales and is renowned for its award-winning ski school, elegant day lodges, exceptional dining, and a wide range of luxury accommodations. Deer Valley has been named the United States’ Best Ski Resort by the World Ski Awards for 12 consecutive years.
