For fans of classic Alpine mountain backdrops, look to the resort towns of St. Moritz and Arosa, where the Tschuggen Grand Hotel is located.

In Tschuggen鈥檚 rec room-like basement lounge (hence the drink name), this fortifying nightcap evokes the feeling of a sweetened glass of milk with an adult twist. It鈥檚 even served in a small glass-milk bottle, enlivened by a red-and-white striped straw.
