Think of sloshies like an endurance sport. The booze-friendly laws coupled with the serene surroundings make it a cult pastime. Until 2002, you could legally drink while driving in Wyoming (for passengers, until 2007), meaning locals were already accustomed to having a cold one in tow. From there, “The Hound” was born and locals still frequent this spot for a cold, tangy, frozen drink to pair with whatever outdoor adventure they’re up to. The sloshie was conceptualized in 2012 at Creekside Market- they filled a drink machine with freshly squeezed grapefruit juices and a sizable amount of vodka. I learned that the hard way, many years ago, when I gulped down two sloshies in one sitting before hopping on a raft to float down the Snake River. As the name implies, it’ll get you sloshed. While it appears to be a fruity, colorful concoction housed in a slushie machine at countless spots around the valley, it isn’t the average, barely boozy, watered-down drink associated with all-inclusive resorts and beach bars. The valley is filled with mountain peaks, ski resorts, rivers, wildlife, parks, and a tiny Western town with a big personality-and home to arguably the world’s most exceptional frozen beverage. One visit to Jackson Hole, Wyoming is all it takes to discover that “sloshie” is a state of mind.
