Tonight’s lineup:

#QuarantineCocktails Ep16, featuring:

  • John Saltas of City Weekly, an alt-weekly whose entire existence is directly tied to people getting together in groups — in clubs, restaurants, and at concerts and events — which are the industries most affected now. 

  • Ryan Peterson of Diversion - A Social Eatery, 535 N. 300 W., SLC. Wishing his wife a happy birthday and toasting the Marmalade community for its support, Peterson mixed a #SiberianMule, featuring Five Wives Vodka and Honest John’s Aromatic Bitters.

    • Just about 6 months old, the establishment is offering takeout and curb-side pickup. To order, call (801) 657-7326 or use contact-less delivery apps such as DoorDash, Grubhub, Uber Eats or Postmates. Free delivery within 2 miles. Click here for menu.

  • If your household income is $56,000 or less you qualify to have your taxes prepared for free at a VITA site. Call 2-1-1 or (888) 826-9790 to schedule an appointment with Utah VITA.

  • New EITC hotline — (800) 568-9397 — hotline will be live Tuesday, April 28, 2020.
