Christmas drinks and cocktails

At Christmas time, hot and alcoholic taste good Cocktailsespecially good after a day on the ski slopes. The bartenders at après-ski bars in Denver, Colorado and at ski resorts like Breckenridge are quite inventive, and so they concoct a range of Christmas drinks and cocktails to rejuvenate body and soul after a sporty day on the slopes. They present some of them here – you can also copy them in your kitchen at home. However, some use products from the local liqueur scene, which are often produced in-house. Therefore, a stop here is definitely worthwhile during your next skiing holiday in Colorado:

The 12-21-10, a drink at the beginning of winter

This cocktail is named after the first day of winter. It consists of a mix of Smith & Cross Navy Proof and Oronoco Rum with Bowmore Scotch, a Christmas seasoning mix, black pepper syrup and apricot.

Apple and Spice - Drinks and cocktails for Christmas

This spicy-sweet drink will warm everyone up after a day of skiing fun: it's made up of cranberry puree, ginger, hendricks gin and apple schnapps. Shaken, and not stirred!

The Blitzen - named after one of the reindeer of Santa Claus

Those who spend Christmas Eve in Denver can celebrate it in the Peaks Lounge with a wonderful view of the snow-capped Rocky Mountains and a delicious cocktail in hand. The Blitzen consists of crème de coco, peppermint schnapps, vodka and cream. He is decorated with a candy cane.

Christmas Ale - a beer for Christmas

The winter in Colorado is best done with a specially brewed beer with extra flavor that warms cold winter faces quickly. With more than 7 percent alcohol, a powerful aroma reminiscent of caramel and chocolate, this Christmas beer is perfect for enjoying over the winter fireplace.

What do they eat in this region?" As a freelance travel journalist (her articles have appeared in DIE ZEIT, 360° Canada, 360° USA, etc.), she is now looking for answers to these questions as a travel writer and travel blogger in many countries around the world.
