A ski trip doesn’t end when you unclip your boots from your skis. If you really want to experience the full mountain vacation vibe, après-ski is a must. Slope-side parties with live music or DJs—long a staple of Alpine resorts—have made their way here too, and they’re becoming increasingly popular in Jasná. Do you know which après-ski drinks you shouldn’t miss this season?
The term après-ski comes from French and literally means “after skiing.” It’s not about drinking during your time on the slopes, but enjoying a well-earned drink afterward as a reward for a day of activity. From the French Alps to Austrian and Italian ski resorts, we all know the iconic scenes—huge groups of skiers and snowboarders dancing high in the mountains with drinks in hand.
Hot Mountain Punch
This classic drink is a favorite among skiers around the world and ranks among the most popular après-ski beverages in Jasná as well. It combines mulled wine with spices like cloves and cinnamon, often finished with a splash of lemon juice or a hint of bitter lemon peel. Add pieces of fruit like apples or oranges, and you’ve got a warm, aromatic mountain punch that’s perfect after a day on the slopes. It’s the kind of drink that reliably warms you up even in below-freezing temperatures and helps bring frozen fingers and tired legs back to life. On Austrian slopes, you’ll often find it under the name Glühwein.
Aperol Spritz
If you’d rather skip the hot drink, a refreshing Aperol Spritz is a great alternative. This Italian favorite combines Aperol, prosecco, and a splash of soda water, served over ice with a slice of orange. While Aperol Spritz is best known as a summer drink, it’s also become a top après-ski choice on the slopes for those looking for something crisp and refreshing instead of warming.
Bombardino
Bombardino is another Italian classic, but unlike Aperol Spritz, this one is all about warmth and indulgence. This sweet, hot drink blends brandy with rich steamed milk, creating a smooth, creamy texture that’s perfect for cold mountain days. Its flavor is often enhanced with a touch of nutmeg, adding a subtle spiced kick. Topped with a generous layer of whipped cream, Bombardino is the ultimate cozy après-ski treat for anyone craving something rich and comforting.
Jägerbomb
For those looking for something with a little more energy, there’s the Jägerbomb. This high-impact drink combines Jägermeister, the bold herbal liqueur, with an energy drink for a fast-paced après-ski kick. It’s typically made by pouring a shot of Jägermeister, then dropping it into a larger glass filled with an energy drink, mixing everything together right before drinking. The spicy, herbal flavor of Jägermeister meets the sweet, stimulating rush of the energy drink, creating an intense and distinctive combo that’s especially popular with younger crowds.
With these four popular après-ski drinks, you’ve got the perfect recipe for ending any ski day on a high note. Just remember—après-ski in Jasná is best enjoyed responsibly. Savor your drinks in moderation and always make sure you can get back to your hotel safely.
