I am so excited Lush Life is getting out of the studio and onto the slopes with our first Lush Guide. I‘m Susan Schwartz, your drinking companion and this is Lush Life Podcast - every week I’m inspired to live life one cocktail at a time by the best in the industry.
Maybe it was speaking to Mia Johansson from Sweden for the past two weeks, but I couldn't help wanting to jump into the snow. So I headed to Morzine France - a skiers paradise - quaint, pretty, with great slopes.
Honestly, I prefer Après-Ski to ski and I am definitely not poo-pooing vin chaud, shots of toffee vodka or Jägermeister, or the endless amounts of white wine you drink with fondue - hey, I did an episode praising Savoie White Wines - but sometimes you just need a good old-fashioned in a civilized bar with a mud-free floor, or that perfect pint of craft beer.
I found all this and more in Morzine and sat down with a few of the folks who are offering alternatives to the definition of apres ski...but the fun of a Lush Guide is there is always more!
After the podcast, head to ALushLifeManual.com to discover what the local spirit is and where to drink it, also did you know there is an igloo bar on the mountain - so much good stuff!
First we head to Laury’s Bar, then Beanies and then end up with a beer in our hand at Bec Jaune.
Our Cocktail of the Week is the Dead Rabbit.
Ingredients:
- 40ml Jameson’s
- 10ml Martini Rosso
- 2 Dashes Creole bitters
- Ginger Beer Top
- Fresh sliced Ginger
- Fresh scorched Rosemary garnish
Method:
Rub the ginger slice around the rim and drop it into a glass. Add in the Jameson’s, Martini Rosso and dashes of Creole Bitter. Stir with ice and top with Ginger Beer. Garnish with Burnt Rosemary
You’ll find this recipe and all the cocktails of the week on ALushLifeManual.com, where you’ll also find all the ingredients in our shop
If you head to my sister site, Bestbitworldwide.com, you’ll find out what to do in Morzine when you’re not in the bar - fun things to do from skiing to night sledging to snowshoeing plus where to eat fondue and other cheesy Savoie treats.
