Tips from the community

No, Brass Monkey isn’t the name of some Utah rock band– it’s a Mountain Dew mixed with peach, orange and cream. “Do you want to go get a soda?” is a common phrase in Utah. But in Utah, soda doesn’t mean a fountain drink from McDonald’s. No, no, sodas here are an artform! Fruit purees, flavored syrups and creams are added to sodas to create an addicting beverage that every visitor to Utah must try at least once!

Thirst Drinks is all about selling the experience. In addition to good soda and good snacks, they want you to leave with a smile on your face. They even provide free popcorn to turn that frown upside down. Give their famous Smooth Classic (coke, coconut, vanilla, and half & half) a try when visiting!
