JACKSON, Wyo. — Labor Day weekend is here, so let’s talk about sloshies.
Sloshie culture is a big part of summer in Jackson. For the uninitiated: a sloshie is a slushie plus alcohol, usually a fruity beverage blended with ice. Sloshie-themed merch is available all over town, from sloshie vendors and from unrelated clothing stores. Some trucker hats even champion favorite flavors. Behold the sloshieconomy.
Some locals pledge allegiance to a single purveyor. Sidecar, for example, has a frequent-buyer program: buy 10 sloshies, get one free. Others will select a sloshie based on its proximity to whatever outdoor activity they have planned. A Hoback Market employee told Buckrail their sloshies were popular with river users.
“Some people we see twice in a day,” they said.
