This winter, the fine folks at Kahlúa celebrated friendships via the premiere of the Buddy Bench. They stopped at the very chill Breckenridge, Colorado for some fun events. With a cocktail in hand, everyone was invited to take a seat on the Buddy Bench to learn more about how Kahlúa is celebrating friendships through Après-ski activities. There were interactive games, chatting with brand ambassadors, and participating in a unique Kahlúa tasting with friends! Kahlúa helped warm everybody up after a day on the slopes, offering an exclusive hot chocolate station, serving up warm bites and providing guests with premium Kahlúa swag. Sadly, we couldn’t make it to Breckenridge but we were given these tried and true, loved and adored recipes, to share with RealFoodTraveler.com readers:
