There are few better ways to reward yourself than with a hot boozy drink after a day on the mountain. Take a stroll down Main Street and try out some of the best boozy hot chocolates, ciders, spiced wine and anything that you could desire. And, of course, there are non-boozy drinks for the little ones if they would like to join! We got to play ‘tourist for the day’ and go to a couple local restaurants to try out some hot boozy drinks for ourselves. Here is what we tasted and our experience!
