The second best press release of the day
I'm having trouble figuring out if this event is a celebration or a protest.
On the other hand, master mixologist Austin Craig's job just got even easier.
SALT LAKE CITY (April 30, 2008) – Impending changes in Utah’s liquor laws in Senate Bill 211 (SB211) will allow restaurants and private clubs to begin serving 1.5 ounces of primary alcohol in martinis and other single-liquor drinks on May 5, 2008. Club Bambara is marking the date by pouring Utah’s first 1.5 ounce martini, appropriately named the “SB211.”
SB211 eliminates sidecars, or separate shots of alcohol, in mixed drinks, but allows martinis and other single-liquor dinks to have a 1.5 ounce total alcohol content. Previous, if guests wanted more than an ounce in their martini, they had to order a sidecar and pour in the additional liquor themselves after their drink was concocted. “It makes such a huge difference in the integrity of a cocktail to be able to prepare it properly. All the ingredients should be created together for the best taste,” said Club Bambara’s master mixologist Austin Craig.

who wants to give them the bad news that a martini is not a single-liquor drink?
That's what we should call the no-vermouth version: The Utini
How on earth can you make a drink with only 1.5oz of liquor, I think as I sip my Negroni with 4.5oz of liquor in it.
Utah is such a backwards state. I am so, so glad that I am not trapped there.
I just got back from Utah. It was like drinking in the twilight zone. A one ounce martini! I almost fell off my barstool laughing when I saw one of those go out.
