Here are a few après-ski drink ideas that will help you unwind in style:
1. Hot Toddies
After a chilly day on the slopes, there’s no better way to warm up than with a classic Hot Toddy. This soothing drink is perfect for combating the winter cold and helping you relax. To make a Hot Toddy, combine hot water, a spoonful of honey, a splash of lemon juice, and your favorite whiskey or brandy. The honey adds sweetness, while the lemon provides a refreshing citrus kick. If you’re feeling a little more adventurous, try adding a cinnamon stick or a slice of fresh ginger for a little extra warmth. This drink is ideal for winding down after a busy day outdoors.
2. Mulled Wine
Another favorite winter warmer is mulled wine. This aromatic drink is perfect for sipping by the fire after a day of skiing. To make mulled wine, heat up a bottle of red wine with a mix of spices like cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, and orange peel. Let the wine simmer gently for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse, then strain and serve. Mulled wine is a comforting drink that brings a festive and cozy vibe to any après-ski session. Plus, it pairs wonderfully with some delicious charcuterie or chocolate!
3. Beer & Charcuterie
If you’re in the mood for something lighter or refreshing, a cold beer paired with a delicious charcuterie spread is a great choice. Durham is home to a variety of local craft breweries, so why not support local and enjoy some of the region’s best beers? Pair your beer with a selection of cured meats, cheeses, olives, and crackers for a perfect après-ski snack. This light combination will allow you to enjoy a relaxed and leisurely evening with friends, all while enjoying the flavors of the region. Whether you prefer a pale ale, lager, or stout, Boo Zapp has a wide selection of beers for you to choose from.
4. Spiked Hot Chocolate
If you’re a fan of indulging in something sweet after a day of skiing, spiked hot chocolate is an excellent choice. Rich and decadent, this drink is made by combining your favorite hot chocolate mix with a splash of liqueur such as Baileys Irish Cream, Kahlua, or Peppermint Schnapps. Top it off with whipped cream or marshmallows, and you’ve got yourself a perfect après-ski treat that combines the best of comfort and indulgence.
5. Warm Cider
For a non-alcoholic yet flavorful drink, try spiced warm cider. Heat up apple cider with a few cinnamon sticks, cloves, and orange zest. If you’re in the mood for a boozy twist, add a shot of spiced rum or bourbon to kick it up a notch. Warm cider is the perfect drink for snuggling up after a day on the slopes, and it’s sure to keep you feeling cozy and satisfied.
