This past winter I was in Zermatt, Switzerland, the home of the Matterhorn, excellent skiing & the most amazing family owned restaurantΒ Chez Vrony.

A more detailedΒ post on this rustic cafe will happen…but in the mean time happy Friday & I hope you have a spectacular happy hour ~ with theseΒ Cafe Leni cocktails!

This weekend is super busy here in Telluride, CO. We have our final BIG summer festival Blues & Brews. A three day weekend packed with amazing music, great friends & lots of photography.

I have a media pass so i’ll be reporting a lot & posting to InstagramΒ & Twitter to keep you in the loop. The front liner bands include the Violent Femmes, George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic andΒ Peter Frampton. Many more bands as well throughout the weekend!

Last year the festival was a giant mud pit ~ the rain kept a coming. But this year the skies will be bluebird & the temps in the 70’s. Perfect festival weather! It will look like this outside…

OK. Now back to warming cocktails.

And the Swiss Matterhorn… (can you you tell how much I adore the mountains!) That’s the view from Chez Vrony.

When you areΒ skiing hard nothin’ is better than Swiss Raclette & a Cafe Leni (maybe a glass of wine in the mix too!)

This cocktail will be your go to fall/winter treat. Pinky promise. If you are gonna try it this weekend great, you will be glad you did.

Isn’t Amaretto divine? Mixed with espresso & whipped cream even more so. This is the perfect fireplace & dessert cocktail.

This drink is served with steamy espresso on the side. I like to sip the Amaretto & whipped cream & then some coffee. When about half way through the glassΒ I pour in the espresso into the shot glass.

The combination is heavenly!

  1. LOVE this. Even if I’m not a ski-er, I feel as though I can get the experience (or at least the part of the experience I want) from this tasty potable.
