High Mountain Drug

       High Mountain Drug is a hometown restaurant in Kamas Utah (east of Park City Utah). Along with amazing shakes you can also get a winning burger for lunch or dinner. This is where I went for my birthday dinner (yes I wanted to drive an hour and a half to try some highly reviewed ice cream).

    I first learned about High Mountain Drug Pharmacy on yelp.com, where many reviewers raved about the burgers and shakes and naturally I had to try it for myself. Kamas is located at the base of the Uintah mountains, and the birthday plan was lunch at High Mountain Drug and then mountain biking in the Uintah's. I was not let down and it was an amazing birthday!
      My dad and sisters all got different burgers and each one was great! My mom and I got salads (yes i was saving calories for my shake), and the salad was very expensive for not a lot of salad. I am not here to talk about the food, lets get to the shakes!!
Strawberry Sundae

Better Than Anything Shake

Maple Bacon Shake

Banana Cream Pie Shake

       The variety of shakes is almost endless! My mom ordered the famous maple bacon shake, my sister ordered the banana cream pie shake, my other sister a strawberry sundae, and I ordered the better than anything shake! After sampling each of my family members choices I was so far impressed. Then I got to my shake....and it was better than anything! The mix ins were: Caramel, Toffee bits, and chunks of homemade brownie. It was great! The shake was creamy, not too thick and not too runny; the mix ins were not blended up which left large chunks of brownie and toffee bits, the only downfall was that it did get a little too sweet towards the end.

          Mountain biking was great too! We were the only one's on the mountain since it had been raining all day. The sights were breathtaking.


           High Mountain Drug closes at 6 pm everyday and is closed on Sunday and Thursday.
   

Pettingill's Fruit Stand

       
        Pettingill's is a local fruit stand in Willard Utah. What Pettingill's is most famous for are most their fresh grown peaches, but also their fresh fruit shakes. I must admit that a fruit shake is not typically my favorite thing, but Pettingill's has a way of making them delicious!
Home Grown Peaches From Pettingill's Orhcard

      They do this in two ways: one, by mixing their shakes with premium Farr's ice cream. (this mix is not sold in stores) and two, they blend the fruit up almost completely in their shakes and there are very little chunks of fruit. Theses two things make their shakes VERY creamy (but not too thick), and you can definitely taste the freshness of the fruit.
Peach Shake


Raspberry Peach Shake
       Shakes I have tried there are: Peach, Canteloupe, and Raspberry Peach (which has been my favorite so far)  Pettingill's is open from June-October in Willard Utah. The shake stand is open until 5pm each day and does not open until mid-june (when the fruit comes on) and is open through Septemeber. The best time for a peach shake is in September. Enjoy!!
