Apres Ski

For our annual winter cocktail party we decided to celebrate 'National Hot Toddy Day'!  I wanted our place to feel like a cozy chalet that invited you to curl up with your Hot Toddy after a long day on the slopes.

We filled the place with rustic touches like old snow shoes and sleds and classic activities like jenga, connect four, and a custom puzzle which were all a big hit.  To add to the snowy atmosphere we projected extreme sking films on the wall by famous skiing filmographer Warren Miller.

But the best part of any great Apres Ski event is the food and drink!  I dreamed up some twists on classic comfort foods including chicken sausage slices on mini waffles and smoked salmon on sweet potato waffle fries.  We also served 3 different classic Hot Toddies with the crowd favorite (and easiest!) being hot apple cider mixed with Fireball Whiskey!
