Slow-cooked pork carnitas have a robust flavour, while the negroni cocktail has bitter notes that provide a contrasting complexity during barbecue nights.
The roasted, cheesy indulgence of stuffed peppers pairs beautifully with a spicy margarita, which adds a zesty flavour against the mild smokiness.
Enchiladas layered with a tangy tomatillo sauce balance perfectly with frozen paloma – a sparkling grapefruit cocktail with subtle citrusy notes.
Seafood ceviche’s zesty flavours balance the fizziness of a michelada – offsetting citrus with spiced notes of the tajin rim.
