    Celebrate the art of gathering after a day on the slopes with more than 75 inviting recipes for delicious cocktails and decadent après snacks.

    Après ski is the French term for “after ski.” It’s the time when everyone gets off the mountain, sheds their gear, and decompresses from a long day on the slopes. Whether you’re toasting with champagne coupes and caviar, dancing on tables in your ski boots, or cuddling up with a fuzzy blanket, après has become its own occasion—with or without the skiing.

    With beautiful photography and vintage poster art, this stunningly designed celebration of all things après allows you to revel in wintry delights all year long, including:

    • Spritzes and Champagne Sips: All the bubbles and spritzy sips you could dream of, including a Limoncello Spritz, Negroni Sbagliato, and Rosemary French 75.
    • Hot Cocktails: Cool slopes call for hot cocktails, such as a Spiked Hot Nutella with Toasted Marshmallows, Marrakesh Coffee with Fresh Whipped Chantilly, and a Fresh Ginger & Makrut Lime Hot Toddy.
    • Shot Skis: Delicious shots that can be enjoyed with or without the ski (but this chapter includes a step-by-step tutorial on how to make your very own shot ski. . . just in case): Baby Guinness, Wicked Apple, and Polar Bear.
    • Black Diamond Drinks: Just like black diamond runs are a few steps beyond the basics, this chapter has a mix of classic cocktails with twists, including a Minty G&T, Espresso Martiki, and Après Ski Swizzle.
    • Zero Proof Après Sips & Tonics: Zero-proof cocktails and tonics that skip the booze, but not the flavor or the fun, such as a Citrusy Cucumber Tonic, Matcha Flip, and Skiwasser.
    • Snacks & Après Treats: Bites inspired by some of the most famous aprés ski spots across the globe, including Poutine Arancini, Raclette Baguette with Cured Meat & Cornichons, and Warm Dubai Chocolate Chunk Cookies

    Whether you think of après as an occasion or a vibe, Après is the quintessential guide to cool-weather gathering and imbibing, on or off the mountain.
