Which Bar Snack Are You? – And What Should You Pair It With?
Bar snacks, bar bites or munchies are among some of the most important components within mixology. When it comes to serving cocktails, one of the most pressing questions asked is what kind of snacks should be paired with them?
Your personality can actually reveal what kind of bar snack you most closely resemble – from popcorn to samosas to fries to even peanuts. And when this is known to you, sometimes it becomes easier to work backwards and prepare those cocktails which can be paired well with the bar snack you personify.
But if you are confused about what kind of snacking group you fit into, take this simple quiz and find out more about which bar bite you are and what kind of cocktails this can be paired with.
