Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
In the category of "so strange it has to be true," Vodka 14 has opened an ice bar at Vail Cascade Resort, a ski-in, ski-out resort at Chair 20 on the far west side of Vail. The ice bar is sculpted from actual ice and positioned with views of Chair 20 and the ski area. Vodka 14 vodka is a Colorado-based company that makes vodka from certified organic grains and distills the product in Idaho at the base of the Tetons.
The ice bar will be open every Friday and Saturday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Each week, new vodka infusions and cocktails will be served. The ice bar features three separate diffusers, and serves shots of vodka actual ice glasses.
Shots of cold vodka in an ice glass, in between skiing the bowls at Vail? It should make for some memorable Facebook pics, at the least. Just don't post 'em after taking a fake sick day to indulge your powder passion.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
