MOLLIE’s Guide to Après Bliss
Après-ski is a celebrated tradition in Aspen, enjoyed by skiers and non-skiers alike. The vibrant après-ski scene is a highlight of any visit, and with the arrival of spring, the celebrations reach new heights. Explore our curated collection of spring cocktails, designed to refresh your palate and complement the longer, warmer days.
After a day of Aspen adventures, MOLLIE Aspen offers the perfect respite. Unwind with our extensive cocktail menu and find your ideal spot to relax, whether it’s in our vibrant restaurant and bar, or our inviting outdoor spaces, including our roof terrace — an idyllic setting for sunny spring days.
To elevate your mountain afternoons, our Assistant Food & Beverage Manager, Ryan Sapienza, recommends the crisp and refreshing Elysian Lady. This delightful blend of Sake ONO, Pisco, plum brandy, cucumber, and lime perfectly complements a beautiful day in Aspen.
One of MOLLIE’s most popular cocktails, The Sun Dog, is a great option for those looking for a refreshing take on the classic Margarita. Add some spice to your afternoon with a combination of Arette Blanco Tequila, St. George Green Chile Vodka, chamomile, pineapple, lime, and a Tajín salt rim.
Enjoy a hint of tropical vibes while you’re basking in the alpine glow with a MOLLIE Aspen Mai Tai. Made with Probitas Rum, Bacardí 8, Cointreau, orgeat, lime, and allspice dram—you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds with tropical flavors and refreshing spring sunshine.
