What’s a Sloshie? Meet the Frozen Cocktail with Mountain Roots
If you’ve ever wandered into a small-town market or convenience store in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, you might have stumbled upon the best-kept secret of the mountains: the sloshie. Jackson Hole has always been special to our founder, Chris Simms — the town's adventurous spirit and warm hospitality helped inspire our restaurant. It’s also where he first discovered this icy, boozy gem at a little grocery store called Bodega. One sip and he was hooked. Now, we’re bringing that same spirit to our restaurant with our very own Prickly Pear Sloshie.
What Exactly Is a Sloshie?
In simple terms, a sloshie is a frozen cocktail, typically made with fresh juices and plenty of ice and alcohol.
In Jackson Hole, sloshies are part of the local DNA. They’ve been enjoyed on post-hike patios, après-ski celebrations, and lazy floats down Fish Creek — one of Chris’ favorite activities.
Meet Our Prickly Pear Sloshie
Here at Lazy Dog, we took inspiration from our mountain adventures and crafted a sloshie of our own — bursting with bright, citrusy, desert vibes.
The Prickly Pear Sloshie is made with:
• Pantalones Organic Reposado Tequila
• Prickly pear purée
• Housemade agave nectar sweet + sour
• Triple sec
• House salt rim
It’s juicy, tangy, sweet, and a little wild — just like your favorite adventure buddy.
Sloshie Wisdom from Our Founder, Chris Simms
Our Founder Chris Simms has learned a few things about sloshie drinking over the years, and he’s passing the knowledge along:
• Pair it well: Sloshies love rich, savory foods like fried chicken or a hearty burger.
• Brain freeze tip: If you sip too fast (and trust us, it’s easy to do), you might get the classic brain freeze. Chris recommends putting your tongue on the roof of your mouth to stop the freeze fast.
• Sip smart: These frozen beauties don’t mess around — they’re stronger than they look. Take it slow and enjoy the ride.
