Ski Drinks: The Tasty Way to Après

What Does Après-Ski Mean?

Quite literally, après-ski is French for “after skiing,” so our French heritage makes us natural-born experts. Typically, après-ski encompasses any social activities or entertainment after a time hitting the slopes. Those activities will often include some after-skiing drinks.

What Are Good Après-Ski Drinks?

Really you can drink whatever you want after a long day of skiing. But typically there are three types that might work best: simple serves you can make in the cabin, heated drinks to help warm you up and a classic cocktail that’s always in fashion.

1. Sip on Simple Serves

You've got enough gear to lug up the mountain, and you'll need to conserve your energy. So if you don’t want to bring a lot of ingredients with you to the cabin, you can also just take a couple with our two-ingredient cocktail recipes.

2. Warm Up with a Cup

It’s freezing out there — wrap your hands around a warm mug of a cocktail when you get back. The hot drinks Warm Apple Cider and Winter Scarves will do the trick.

3. Order like a Pro at the Ski Lodge

If you want a drink directly off the slopes, stop by the bar and order a classic cocktail. To help you feel like a pro, check out how to order a martini cocktail. If you’d rather make one at home, learn how to make it yourself exactly to your liking.

And of course make sure you always drink responsibly, especially when you’re out in a new environment like the mountainside.

There are so many ways to après. The next time you get done with a day of skiing, you’ll have no shortage of drink ideas to cap off your time on the slopes.
