4 Evening Snack Options To Pair With Your Cocktails This Weekend
Complete with a light spice, an audible crunch and lots of flavour, evening snack options that compliment cocktails can actually set the tone of the party you host this weekend. These small bites needn’t be too complicated, they just have to be delicious and flavourful enough to match your weekend vibe.
Here are some of these evening snack options that can be prepared for pairing alongside interesting cocktails blended for such a gathering:
Paneer Tikka Skewers
Pair With: Whisky Sour
Brightly spicy and finished off with a smoky char, paneer tikka skewers are excellent alternatives to serve at a cocktail gathering featuring drinks like a peaty, earthy whisky sour. The citrusy element in the drink cuts through the spiciness of the skewers in a balanced snack and drink pairing.
Onion Fritters Or Pakoras
Pair With: Kokum Gin And Tonic
One of the finest crunchy bites to prepare during monsoon weather, onion pakoras are the ultimate evening snack option in these climes. These mildly spicy, iconic fritters can be paired with a flavourful gin and tonic. A touch of kokum lends an acidity to this drink that cuts through the umami spice of the pakoras.
Masala Corn Cups
Pair With: Masala Margarita
Warm buttered corn tossed in chaat masala and kala namak can be an excellent evening snack option to pair with cocktails like a margarita infused with similar spicy and tangy tasting notes. Prepare the drink with lots of lime juice added into it which builds that essential tang in the cocktail.
Mini Sliders
Pair With: Spiced Palomas
Evening snack options such as mini sliders function as flavourful bar bites at cocktail parties. Infuse them with bright mustardy or minty sauces and pair with drinks like a spiced paloma. Finish this tequila-infused cocktail off with a jalapeño garnish which lends the drink its signature spicy touch.
