Key to Cocktail Ratings

Our cocktail collection is divided into two categories: hot weather and cold weather beverages. Each category has four degrees of strength, inspired by a natural event or pastime that is common in that region.

Tropical Drinks


SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY No alcohol. This flag is flown to alert mariners to sustained weather or sea conditions, either present or forecast.

Apres Ski Drinks

NO ALCOHOL Denotes a slope for beginners, usually with a gently incline and easy conditions. Fun for kids of all ages.

INTERMEDIATE One alcoholic ingredient. The intermediate hill can be challenging, but it is usually well-groomed and wide. The drink is enough to warm your soul.

ADVANCED Two alcoholic ingredients. The first level of "black" slope isn't something to be toyed around with. Here you can encounter difficult terrain like moguls, precipitous inclines and ice.

EXPERT Three or more alcoholic ingredients. Talk about steep and deep! The expert slope is a nearly-vertical wall of snow. Don't try this at home kids.
