Sips on the Slopes: Drinks + Bites for Après-Ski

A cozy cocktail book with 40 recipes for drinks and light bites perfect for an après-ski or winter cocktail hour.

"Striking wintery landscapes feature throughout alongside gorgeous photos of the drinks themselves. Lovers of winter sports and entertaining will find plenty of inspiration." --Publishers Weekly

Après-ski is about enjoying a drink with friends after a day in the snow. Whether you're hitting the slopes or cozied up by the fireplace, here are delicious drink recipes with and without alcohol, coded for easy reference: a green circle (mocktail), blue square (low-ABV), or black diamond (cocktail), with variations to customize each.

• Relax with a low-ABV Pomegranate Après-ol Spritz after skiing
• Whip up Tangerine Margaritas and S'more Runs Martinis to keep the party going
• Warm up with a Cognac Spiked Coffee or White Hot Chocolate
• Opt for a refreshing mocktail, like the Citrus Kombucha Fizz

Also included are easy recipes for salty and sweet snacks--such as Lemon Pepper Mixed Nuts, Parmesan Thyme Popcorn, and Snickers-Stuffed Dates--because no après-ski is complete without a bite to go with your drink. Gorgeous photography of mountain-town life will appeal to skiers, snowboarders, and snow lovers, making this a perfect holiday gift. Cheers!
