Establishment: Franklin Ave — 231 S. Edison St., SLC
Bartender: Hannah Trosclair & Katie Patrick
Cocktail Name: The Sundance Kid
Franklin Avenue’s Hannah Trosclair and Katie Patrick are a unique combo of Southern charm (Hannah, New Orleans) and Northern big city energy (Katie, Chicago). Their cocktail shows off their combined love of the Beehive State, inspired by collaboration with Alan Scott from Waterpocket Distillery.
“Alan has a lot of stories about the history of outlaws in Utah,” Katie says. “We wanted to make the most Utah cocktail we could conceive. His stories inspired me, so I used his amaro (Notom).”
Fittingly, their cocktail is called “The Sundance Kid,” after Utah’s most famous outlaw. It doesn’t get more Utah than that, but Katie went further, using local peaches, honey and tea and Alpine Distillery’s Lafayette Bourbon.

“I thought of everything that was Utah and put it into one drink,” Katie says. “We turn it into a highball, add soda water and then top it with a chamomile vanilla honey foam. Honestly, it’s like a dirty soda.”
So it is possible to get more Utah.
“Moving here from the Midwest and the South, we experienced Utah culture shock,” Hannah adds. “Soda shops on every corner, mysterious Mormon history, native peaches (aren’t those only in Georgia?), a rebellious counterculture, an alien desert landscape. We found all of it strange and wonderful. Our appreciation for these things has shifted from an unusual delight to a familiar comfort.”
