time for an appetizer
Apéritif : (m) also : apéro. General term for the drinks and savory nibbles you offer your guests before dinner. It is also a widespread custom to invite people over just for l'apéro, which is a more casual way to entertain than a full-blown dinner invitation.

Maureen Millington-Brodie
: appetizer usually means tasty nibbles in UK, not alcholic drink, apero gives more emphasis to the drinking part

Another way of saying it:
*apero time*
Here's a reference:
It's apero time, I'll have a Kir or failing that a small Muscat and some snacks d'apero please! ...

aperitif time
Apéro is widely used in France (not just Switzerland) for aperitif.
Depending our your audience, you might also consider "the cocktail hour" as a translation.

4 hrs
happy hour
would be another option. Depends on the register of your text, of course, but if it's quite a youthful, trendy piece, this might be more appropriate than cocktail or aperitif. Most ski bars seem to have a "happy hour" between 5 and 7 when drinks are usually cheaper and just when people are rolling in off the slopes desperate for that much-needed Glühwein after the day's adventures... or maybe that's just me....
