Drink Pairing Recipes for Smoked & Grilled Foods
|
The importance of paring food and drinks is often overlooked by grill masters as they tend to focus on what they are cooking and not the presentation of the full meal. It can seem a little snobby to want to pair your beverage and food, but when you think about it we do it all the time. When you go out for a Mexican dinner you are much more likely to get a margarita rather than a whiskey coke.
It all boils down to the science of having the right drink alongside your custom grilled or smoked barbeque. It can be a vital part of balancing your dish and choosing the right style of beer, wine or cocktail can actually enhance the flavors between your dish and beverage. Regardless if you believe in the science or not, it makes a meal more fun to eat when everything follows the right theme and offers a similar flavor profile. |
