• For those that can ski or want to learn, a ski trip is arguably one of the best holidays one can take. Your days are filled with fun activity and at night you can do as you please – go for a nice meal, relax and get cosy.

    If this sounds like something you’d be interested in to do on your honeymoon, take a look at these great ski destinations:

    Canada

    If you’re looking for spectacular terrain, wide and quiet slopes and knee deep powder, then Canada is the place for you.

    USA

    The US is known for world class skiing as the large variety of resorts means you can find whatever you’re looking for, as well as pistes for every level of skiing.

    France

    France is the most popular skiing destination in Europe due to its high altitudes and, as a result, reliable conditions.

    Switzerland

    Filled with classic ski towns, high altitudes and great snow records. The only downside is the cost as Switzerland is the most expensive skiing destination in Europe.

    Austria

    Home of Après-ski: a fun and cheaper European ski holiday, as well as tree-lined slopes and the best ski lift systems. The lower altitudes mean less snow but this is combatted with snowmaking.

    Japan

    With consistent light powdered snow, uncrowded slopes and beautiful mountain vistas, it’s understandable that Japan has some of the best ski resorts in the world.

    When one thinks of the drinks offered at a bachelorette party, the classics like vodka-cranberry come to mind. Instead of sticking to the obvious, mix things up with these fabulous cocktail recipes.

    1. Alcoholic slush

    This one is pretty easy and can be changed to suit various tastes. Whether you prefer vodka, tequila or both, a boozy slush is always a crowd-pleaser. There are equipment companies that hire out these machines, so you don’t have to do all the work. An alcoholic slush is perfect for a summer bachelorette party.


    2. Candy floss heaven

    To add a touch of flair to your cocktails, add some candy floss to the rim of the glass. It not only looks great but once the candy floss dissolves, it makes the drink taste even better.

    3. Solid cocktails

    Who doesn’t enjoy a fruity popsicle with a touch of booze? Opt for your cocktail in frozen form and your guests will be over the moon. You can create a delicious mixture of your preference, poured into a popsicle mould and left to freeze for a few hours. Voila! A unique bachelorette cocktail.


    4. Mini cocktails

    Served in a tot glass, a mini cocktail is similar to a shooter. The saying “dynamite comes in small packages” rings true with these tasty and tiny drinks. Packing a punch per gulp, mini cocktails are guaranteed to bring an element of fun to the party.


    5. Healthy imitation

    Soak your favourite fruits in alcohol and serve them on a platter or as an additive to a mix of your choosing. A popular fruit to soak is watermelon. There are two ways to spike this fruit. The first is by cutting a hole into the top and sticking a bottle of booze into the gap. Allow the bottle to drain overnight. The second method is to cut the fruit up and pour the alcohol over the pieces. While a bit messier, it gets the job done.

    There are so many ways to make your cocktails interesting and flamboyant, without having to go to the extreme. Remember, if you are going to serve drinks with straws, make sure to avoid plastic straws and rather use paper or biodegradable straws instead.
