Artisanal Drinking Cocoa $14.00 (Signature 6 oz Lodge Pouch)
Elevate your winter ritual with our Après Ski Club, a heavy-bodied drinking cocoa designed for the peak of the day. This artisanal blend captures the essence of a high-alpine retreat, combining the bold depth of heritage cacao with The Twist: High-end Micro-Marshmallows and White Chocolate Shavings for a velvet-smooth texture that defines the “lodge” experience. Intricately crafted for a thick, “Euro-style” consistency, it offers a strikingly well-balanced chocolate profile and a finish as comforting as a roaring hearth. Whether you are returning from a mountain trek or settling into your favorite armchair, this blend transforms your mug into a sanctuary.
The Roastery Ritual This is a true artisanal product. Before opening, give the pouch a vigorous “Roastery Shake” to re-aerate the cacao and ensure the marshmallows and chocolate shavings are perfectly integrated. For the perfect service, create a slurry by mixing 3–4 tablespoons of cocoa with a small amount of hot water or milk to form a smooth paste. Slowly whisk in the remaining 8 oz of steaming liquid until frothy and velvety.
Elevated Service While this blend is a masterpiece on its own, it also provides a sophisticated foundation for those looking to craft a “Spirited Service.” We recommend topping your prepared cocoa with:
The Vanilla Drift: A splash of Vanilla Vodka and a cinnamon stick for a warming, dessert-style finish.
The Alpine Cream: A splash of Peppermint Schnapps or Irish Cream for a classic winter celebration.
The Midnight Velvet: A thick pour of Heavy Cream or oat milk over ice with boba pearls for a chilled chocolate tea-tail.
Please drink responsibly. Alcohol can impair judgment and coordination. If pregnant or breastfeeding, do not drink alcohol.
Flavor Notes Après Powder Day:
Soft, pillowy, and nostalgic. A creamy milk chocolate profile elevated by the melting sweetness of vanilla and a thick, “snow-capped” frothy finish.
